Industrial Pendant Lamp Shades (4)

These four industrial copper and steel "pendant" lampshades—enameled forest green on the outside, white on the inside—once hung in a shop or working office.  Today, they would look sensational in a loft or period home, perhaps over a sideboard, down a hallway or over a kitchen island. Imagine them hanging over the banquette tables in a country restaurant.  After decades of use, they do show a bit of wear-and-tear: occasional chips to the enamel and a few dings (but only enough to give them just-the-right period character).  The copper "fitter" (at top) is 2.25" across.  A corseted "gully" on the fitter allows them to be secured with thumb-turned screws.   (6.5" x 8.5" with a 2.25" diameter fitter)   li13174e c. 1910's - 1920's
