1890s Victorian Gasolier Style 2-Light Brass Chandelier

This two-light brass Victorian Neoclassical gasolier styled chandelier from the late 19th century serves as a refined focal point, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship of the Victorian Neoclassical era. The brass frame is defined by a central column of ribbed urns and a spiral-twisted rod, balanced by two sweeping arms. Each arm is accented by a hand-cast figural motif—a beaked bird or dragon —that gives the fixture a distinctive, custom-made feel without overwhelming its classic lines. Originally designed for gas in the 1880s to 1890s, the fixture was converted to electricity at some point but retains its historic integrity. The original gas keys remain in place. The piece is finished with a pair of frosted tulip shades that produce a warm, diffused light. Its scale and vertical presence make it an ideal choice for a formal entryway or a library, offering a level of character that reproduction lighting cannot replicate. Minor patina and wear do not distract from this beautiful piece of history. The ceiling canopy is 5" in diameter. The piece is ready for installation.
