Vtg 50s HOLOPHANE 682 LOBAY 14" signed industrial pendant ceiling light 2 avail

Description: Complete, original, and refurbished 1950s-vintage, classic Holophane Lobay pendant lights. This listing begins with 2 matched fixtures available, priced individually, each measuring 14" diameter and 13" tall. These are in excellent vintage condition, with a beautiful light patina appropriate to their age. These fixtures have vertical vent holes in the metal housing that so gorgeously spill light onto surrounding surfaces.Their original and authentic, signed Holophane shades read: "HOLOPHANE 6582" (the shade's model number) (see photo). Each socket housing still retains its original metal Holophane manufacturer's tag as shown. Importantly, the shades are in outstanding condition -- beautiful and undamaged despite their age.We've included 3 feet of new cloth-covered wiring to give you plenty of flexibility in how far the fixture hangs from your ceiling. For an absolutely rock-solid installation, each fixture hangs by a 5"-diameter sturdy chromed metal canopy and 12"-long metal cable with looped ends and S hooks. Vintage cast-iron Appleton hanging loops with cord portals, located at the canopy and atop the fixture, complete this incredible suspension system -- you simply won't find a better and safer hanging solution offered anywhere. As supplied, the bottom of the fixture hangs about 34" from the ceiling. By request we can supply custom-length cable from 4" to 24" long, so the bottom of the fixture sits in a range of about 26" to 46" from your ceiling. A longer hanging distance requires more power cord and longer cable -- if that's what you need, let us know before you buy -- anything can be done! To make this an easy install for you or your electrician, we include everything required down to the electrical wire nuts.The original Holophane sockets are among the best ever made, and in excellent condition. We include a new ceramic mogul-to-medium socket adapter so you can use any regular household light bulb, including LED as well as the popular vintage style bulbs so available these days. The original asbestos gasket between the socket housing and glass shade was replaced with a safe and effective rubber/cork gasket. Each fixture with the included hardware weighs about 9.5 pounds.Quoted shipping is to the lower 48 states. You save on shipping when purchasing more than one fixture. Buy with confidence knowing that all of our vintage industrial light fixtures are: *Refurbished to the highest standards. We carefully disassemble each fixture down to the smallest screw, then refurbish each part. For example, all electrical contact surfaces are cleaned and restored, threaded surfaces are "chased" with taps and dies, and lubricants applied sparingly where needed. We keep the fixtures fully original, only replacing parts when corrosion or safety concerns dictate a new part, such as a new stainless steel screw in place of an old rusted one, or a new, nitrile rubber-cork gasket in place of an old asbestos one. Each fixture is rewired and ready to hang. *Restored and preserved to retain their natural and intrinsic vintage look. We don't "wring the romance" from fixtures by excessively removing all traces of patina. Instead, metal surfaces are cleaned lightly but completely while preserving the natural patina gained over decades. The parts are then treated to retain the patina and prevent future corrosion. Glass is cleaned thoroughly. Porcelain surfaces are cleaned gently and thoroughly, then buffed to restore their original luster. *Tested and guaranteed to work perfectly. Before any fixture leaves our workshop it is tested to ensure it works properly. Please check our flawless feedback. *Packaged extremely well for safe arrival and shipped within 24 hours. We've shipped vintage light fixtures all over the world with zero damage incidents. That's because we use plenty of quality packing materials, and know through years of experience how to pack. Our packing practices meet or exceed the standards established by FedEx, UPS, and USPS.
