Antique Hanging Victorian Light Pendant Canopy, Swivel Loop & Stem - Heavy Brass
Product Details
Antique substantial brass Ceiling Canopy, Swivel Loop & Hanger, and Decorative Stem - all parts I believe belonged to a pendant gas light fixture. They came together in a box I bought many years ago. I have no use for ones this heavy-duty. The weight, size and construction are hallmarks of well-made Victorian lighting... most likely gas. Components included: * Ceiling Canopy: The bell-shaped cap sat flush against the ceiling. It served both a decorative purpose—hiding the functional pipe connections and hole in the plaster—and a structural one by supporting the swivel below. It is 5-1/4 across the opening and 4.5 tall. There is a hole in the side of it for a pipe and a set screw in the lip collar on the top. The cross brace shown inside it was in the box, and it fits the stem nipple, so I included it, but I don't believe it to be original construction. * Swivel Loop & Hanger: This heavy ring allowed the entire lamp to hang straight and move slightly if bumped, which was a critical safety feature to prevent rigid gas pipes from cracking or leaking. This part is heavy duty welded brass and does not come apart. * Stem Assembly: Consists of a 6.5 threaded 1/2 to 9/16 diameter nipple with a decorative sleeve that covers over it. * Weight: (approx. 1 lb 6.7 oz): This solid brass construction lends it to have been designed for a substantial hanging pendant or library lamp.
