Outstanding Giant Silicon Bronze "Americana" Newel Post Light

Our original antique sample was made by Mitchell-Vance, New York.  This light is listed in the Mitchell Vance catalog of 1876 pg 46, Plate 216.  The catalog has been reprinted by Dover if you'd like to take a peek.

Note the lovely expression of her face, details of her necklace and sandals, and the billowing cape behind her.  Not another authentic one being made anywhere - now you can have this estate-quality piece in your home or business.

What a gorgeous piece...weighing in at over 100 pounds of solid brass-bronze with an antique finish to match.  Formerly gaslight, it's now wired...and UL approved...and capable of taking up to a 150 watt bulb.  Originally a newel post light and could be again if you had the strong enough newel post for it.

The base has an 11" round diameter, and has a removable subplate within it that screws down to the surface for permanent mounting.  We have seen these used on top of furniture and on pedestals for accent lighting, too.

Measurements:

  • Height:  55" overall, without the shade.
  • Base:  11" diameter.
  • Weight:  over 100 lbs.
  • Fitter Size:  4"
  • Wattage:  This light has been wired to UL standards, with one socket rated up to 150 watts incandescent.

Fixture uses 4" shade fitter.  Shade sold separately. We have over two dozen
4" fitter glass shades from which to choose.

These fixtures are designed to be wired in, and use a wall switch to turn on/off.  On/off switch available on the base for an extra $25.
