A Great Leaded Glass Inverted Dome

2009-11-07T16:21:00.000-08:00

This Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Dome is a great light for
a great many places.

Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Domes were made by slumping or bending parts of sheets of Slag Glass and shaping them into very interesting designs of different colors and texture. The bending was done by heating the glass in a kiln until it " slumped " to form the shape of the various molds that were used. After the desired shape was created the piece of glass was surrounded by copper or lead foil which then allowed the pieces to be " leaded " together with a soldering iron to form the Inverted Dome.

These Antique Inverted Domes are very often associated with the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period. Their spare but interesting designs work well with the parallel lines in Arts & Crafts furniture. Then some of these Antique Lights had a more organic feel to them.

4-Light Arts and Crafts Chandelier with Slag Glass Shades Circa 1915

Gas Harp with Beveled Glass Circa 1890 has a fleur di lis design.

Another name for a Gas Harp is a Hall Hoop. These Hoops make great hall fixtures as well as great fixtures for small spaces. Hall hoops were used over Wash Stands with pitchers and bowls before modern plumbing was installed. A gas pipe would be on the ceiling in the corner or against the wall in a bedroom and Hoops would be for over the wash stand.

When people installed modern plumbing but were still lighting with gas there would be a hall hoop in the bathroom. This is a great light for small rooms as long as the ceiling is high. You usually need 24 inches of clearance to do a hall hoop. If you want the bottom to be about 6 foot nine from the floor then your ceiling needs to be 8 foot nine inches to do a Gas Harp.

This chandelier style was derived by the use of incandescent lighting added to the earlier gas chandelier form. Typically, for example, on a 6 arm gas and electric chandelier, you will see the 3 gas arms facing up and the 3 incandescent lighting arms facing down . This is commonly called the combination form.

Since 1903, Steuben Glass has been made by hand at Corning, New York factory and was one of Tiffany's biggest rivals. Steuben's unique glass is made from an outstanding optical formula. Steuben's state-of-the-art melting ensures glass that is exceptionally pure and free of even the tiniest visual imperfections. The skilled artisans worked around reheating ovens called glory holes, directed by a master "gaffer." Each gather of molten glass is carried from tank to glory hole, where it is formed "at the fire" with blowpipes, pontil rods, shears, calipers, and other tools little changed over centuries. Finished pieces are slowly cooled in annealing ovens, then cut, polished, and engraved by hand.

Founded by two former Tiffany employees, The Quezal Art Glass & Decorating Company of Brooklyn opened its doors in 1902, and for the next 22+ years produced a wide range of outstanding Vases and Lamp Shades. Quezal Art Glass pieces are known for the shimmer and luminosity displayed on both the inside and outside surfaces. The company name and its designs were inspired by the quetzal, a rare bird found in the tropical forests of Central America. Quezal Art Glass is known for its colorful, shimmering exteriors and its brilliant gold or metallic interiors. It’s exteriors are also colorfully decorated with nature-inspired motifs such as feathers, clovers, lilies and holly. The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company ceased production in 1924.

Antique Lighting : Cast Glass Inverted Domes

2009-05-18T11:47:00.000-07:00

About Inverted Domes:
The cast glass process of manufacturing inverted dome bowls was a way to get much finer detail in the relief design of the bowl. This renders a much finer design than ordinary blown in mold glass. Molten glass was poured into a mold that was the reverse of the relief design. The result was a heavier glass than Blown in mold glass. The heavier glass created a cameo translucence of light and dark shades that also highlighted the relief beauty of the bowl. The heavier glass was also a much sturdier form that was less likely to chip and break from the hardware that carries the bowl.

Many of these bowls were decorated in relief detail that makes them especially appropriate for Classical and Colonial Revival environments. With a scarcity of original fixtures made for a Greek Revival for example, built in 1840, these bowls do a good job filling the need left from this scarcity.

Other bowls were decorated in a more Victorian appropriate relief. In general, these bowls make a great foyer fixture and are able to put out quite a bit of light when upgraded electrically. Needless to say, this Antique Light will work in other rooms of your home as well.

Designer finds Solution - Antique Sconces

2009-05-06T13:11:00.000-07:00

RM is a Designer that lives with her husband and Daughter in a 10 Unit Condo Association in Boston's Back Bay. She has been instrumental in upgrading the neglected common areas in her building. It came time to upgrade the sconce and ceiling lighting on the different floors and a lot of the association members wanted to use energy saving bulbs. The existing lights were reproduction electric candle sconces and the compact fluorescent bulbs would look terrible.

RM had a great idea. She wanted to use Antique sconces from the period that the building was built. She also wanted to have Antique etched shades so that the compact fluorescent bulbs would be covered.

RM then found a compact fluorescent bulb that looked like the old bulbs because the screw part of the bulb is housed in a torpedo so it looks like a candle bulb.

What a great Interior Designer. Glad that GenuineAntiqueLighting.net could help make it all work.

In the early 1970's Tom Powers, at Light Power became interested in antique lighting design and its' relationship to architectural styles selling antique lights, furniture and accessories. During this time he found his interests focusing on antique lighting. Tom decided that the assortment of skills needed to properly place restored antique lights in renovated homes was a full-time endeavor. Tom has been exclusively restoring and selling Antique Lights since 1979. Check out his Website : GenuineAntiqueLighting.net

At Light Power, Tom and his partner inventory the lighting that was originally in the local architecture. Located in Boston's historic South End, many antique lights have been placed in renovated Brownstones in the Back Bay and South End. Tom has also worked with customers who wanted to light rooms in renovated Victorians, Greek Revivals, Colonial Revivals, Arts and Crafts Bungalows and various other architectural styles.

Tom feels that the best customer is one that has been referred by another satisfied customer and has seen a well-placed antique light in their home.
When the light works well within a home Tom's goal has been reached. Light Power's greatest strength is customer service as seen in the Testimonials on their website.

In the 3000 sq. ft. showroom/workshop, there are over 400 Antique Lights such as chandeliers, sconces, pendants, flush fixtures and more. Since the restoration is on site, Light Power is able to sell beautiful Antique Lights for surprisingly low prices.

Whether you are interested in an Inverted Dome from the early 1900's in your foyer, or a converted Gas Chandelier from the late 1800's in your dining room, send an e-mail to Tom, call him ( 617-423-9790 ) or stop by and he will help you find what you need.
