Seller: new_life_antiques ✉️ (1,847) 100%, Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, US, Ships to: US & many other countries, Item: 254792859797 Victorian Hanging Brass Ceiling Fixture Hand Painted Shade Floral & Bird Design. Lovely & Rare Victorian Era Electrified Brass Hanging Oil Lamp  Nice Richly Colored Hand Painted Milk Glass Floral Shade (13.75") Terrific Brass Elements of Birds & Flowers & 18 Crystal Prism Drops Approx: 36" (ceiling mount to bottom of fixture), 18" Wide, 7.5 lbs Just Reduced! This one is truly lovely & has a soft, yet bold appeal.  Very likely a 1880's-1890's. brass oil lamp that was converted to electric in last few decades.  It has a terrific hand painted milk glass shade with rich colors.   We love the contrast of the soft floral tones of the shade against the bold floral & birds in brass, plus a touch of bling with the hanging prism crystals to really help give it some pop.   Great decorative piece.  It hangs roughly 36" from ceiling to bottom but could be adjusted of course.  The widest point is about 18" from outer swirl arms on lamp, the shade opening is approx: 14". The lamp has been electrified with thin wires & a standard common bulb socket & seemed to work very well.  It was operating when obtained & left much as we found it.  We only gently cleaned the lamp & made no attempt to polish the brass as some prefer the patina look.  We acquired the fixture from an antique store specializing in antique lighting.  We put in a 40 Watt soft light bulb for taking pictures & it looked great as shown in pictures.  The old brass pot has been welded in place on base, probably to secure for wiring safety.  The shade is in pretty good shape with just one chip as shown in pictures and very little other wear other than a few flea bites on rims.  The paint is nice as shown and it's roughly 13.75" in diameter, so the the lamp is designed for shades of this size in case you wish to use your own.  The old brass oil font has a MADE IN USA on old wick knob & the font cap is missing but does not effect the lamp's appeal.  There are 18 Drop Crystals with moderate wear, but they still look nice as shown.  We spaced them in every other hole on metal shade hold base so you could add more if you wished.  There were 16 Crystals under shade (the two at top were just extras we through in).  As with many of these old crystal hangers, the small wires can become fragile so always be gentle placing them back on lamp. Very easy fix though if wires happen to break. We attached a simple plug in wall cord to the fixture's wires to test and photograph.  We will not include the cord unless you request it as you will likely be connecting to your ceiling wiring.  We also do not ship with light bulbs for safety reasons. The lamp does not have an on or off switch, so would be for a  direct ceiling wire unless you decide to rewire to your own specific needs.  The present wiring can be seen in photo #7 of listing photo gallery. We sell lots of antique lighting fixtures, lamps, chandeliers, oil lamps and more, but we always encourage our buyers to consult with qualified contractors when installing fixtures to be safe unless you are skilled in such work.  While we test our lamps and chandeliers when we buy them, we do not take them apart to examine them if they are already working.  This lamp came from a very selective antique shop specializing in antique lighting.  It was hanging and operating in the shop when we obtained and we are selling much as we found it.
