Antique American Avocado Ceiling Lamp Shade Glass

A beautifully crafted avocado colored, antique ceiling light shade (shade only, needs wiring), featuring richly colored slag glass and ornate bronze metalwork. The shade is formed from gracefully curved panels of marbled slag glass in luminous shades of avocado, cream and russet, creating a wonderfully organic, gemstone-like appearance. Each glass panel is individually framed by elaborate bronze trim, while the broad bronze band encircling the upper portion is richly embossed with scrolling foliage and floral motifs. Additional finely worked floral and foliate ornamentation extends between the glass panels, giving the fixture exceptional depth and decorative detail. The scalloped, flower-like silhouette is particularly charming, with the smaller upright glass panels at the crown resembling opening petals. When illuminated, the variegated slag glass takes on a warm, atmospheric glow, revealing its swirling colors and subtle variations. A striking example of early decorative lighting, this ceiling fixture would make an exceptional statement piece in a your refined, romantic interior. Shade only, remnant of original wires with brass chain.
