  • Ruffled Transfer etched Gas Shade with paisley design
  • 37" drop x 9 1/2" width

  • Drop can be adjusted if desired.



    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.

    The Gas Chandelier Period began in the 1850's and
    followed the use of fluids (e.g. kerosene, oil)
    to power chandeliers. Gas was manufactured from coal. This was
    an improvement from a safety point of view because fluids would
    tend to flow and drip to cause fire hazards.
    A typical
    gas chandelier (e.g. 3 arm gas chandelier) would
    have 3 arms with bowl shades on the end of the arms
    housing a gas flame that would light the room .
    The wattage output from gas chandeliers was fairly
    low.
    Antique Gas fixtures can be placed in
    many of the rooms in your home and vary in size and detail.

    Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Domes - Circa 1915




    See them on our Website : Light Power/genuineantiquelighting
    http://tinyurl.com/ox6fr2

      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.
