ANT-706  Very Scarce Consolidated Lamp & Glass Co. Martele Chandelier

Consolidated Lamp & Glass Co. of Coraopolis, PA was one of America's finest glass makers before and during the Great Depression.  This Martele example is dated between 1931 and 1936.

Unfortunately...Consolidated went bankrupt no less than three times during the Depression.  They made outstanding consumer products, i.e. vases, bowls etc., and most outstanding shades and lighting.  And everything that they made was the absolute BEST quality America had to offer to the world.  Elaborating designs from the French Exposition Des Arts Decoratifs of 1925, they brought out some absolutely wonderful shade and fixture designs.  They made shades for their own lighting line, and for other lighting manufacturers such as Moe Bridges.  They were simply a great company.

This chandelier comes from Consolidated's own Martele Line, and has a pewter-finished frame with five of their outstanding Martele shades.

Overall Light Measurements:

• Hang Height:  24"
• Diameter:  17"

This chandelier has been completely re-wired in our UL shop with new sockets to conform to UL guidelines.  Each socket is capable of accepting a 100 watt bulb...but...we would recommend
LED bulbs to protect the now older glass shades.

Complete, UL rewired, scarce, five shade, Martele Chandelier by Consolidated Glass is valued at $1,750.00...plus careful shipping.
