ANT-1353  Neat Art Deco 3-Shade Low Ceiling Chandelier by Virden

This is a hard-to-find three-shade chandelier that was made by Virden and pictured in their catalog of 1935.

They called this series “The Malvern Series”. In this series, there was a 2-light & a 3-light (of various formats) and one wall sconce.

The frame is cast metal with an outstanding old bronze colored finish. Being an antique, you would think that there should be some thinning here and there...but, overall, it’s pretty darn good as the pictures will attest.

The shades are amber and in good...remarkable...condition. The shades have two colors...amber above and clear below as can be seen below the holding frame. There is some variation in the shades and in the frames, so trying different shades in different holders yields the best results. All being hand made, this variance is not unusual.

The chandelier has been completely re-wired, in our UL shop and comes with a complete mounting kit for installation to a normal electrical box. Sockets can easily handle 100-watt incandescent bulbs, but we suggest LED to protect the old shades from heat output of the bulbs.

Measurements: The height is 12 1/2", and the width is also 12 1/2”.

Price: $850.00 for the complete UL re-wired Virden Malvern Chandelier with it’s beautiful and fine condition amber shades... plus shipping.
