    Description

    An 1800`s ceiling mount solid brass gas lighting fixture converted to electric in the 1920`s.  The light is working and offered as found with the recommendation that it be rewired.  The 100 year old cloth covered wire not safe in today`s standards for regular use.
    A recent find from an old Ohio barn full of similar antiques.  The finish is original and the patina on the brass is beautiful.  The light could be polished, but the original patina has a great look.  The light appears to be free of any defects or damage.  The canopy is original as well.  There is no smoke bell, but the hook is there.
