Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Domes - Circa 1915

- 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.
