Antique Converted Gas Ceiling or Newel Post Light Fixture with Etched Shades - Circa 1890
This is an Antique Item
This is a wrought brass converted gas ceiling light fixture with two arms that has been electrified. Originally, the arms were in the opposite position facing up, with gas burners rather than electrical sockets, Alternatively, it was a newel light mounted on a newel post at the base of a stair case and the gas burners were in the same position as the sockets are currently. As it is, it could function as either a ceiling or a newel light.
