This spectacular, original wrought iron chandelier is gothic in character. While its maker is not known, it is reminiscent of Samuel Yellin's style, Yellin* being a renowned Pennsylvania iron worker of national fame in the 1920s. We believe the metal parts of this fixture came from Germany.

Hanging by three recurved wrought iron "chain" formations, this hanging pendant has three winged dragons facing outwards. There are three large, cone-shape, curved mica shades (specially made) hanging from the dragons' tongues. In addition, the center light pan six standard bulb lights. We customized all the mica (done by an American mica worker) throughout the fixture and added the holders for the outside mica shades and the ceiling canopy. This fixture would look fantastic hanging in a two-story setting

It is FULLY RESTORED to black, completed with bent mica panels in the central bowl section, and multiple interior lamps, plus three lamps within the mica cones. It is READY-TO HANG at any drop-length over 52", this chandelier makes a striking presence deserving of a tall space for full impact. (An additional 24" of gothic circle-link chain is included if more length is needed in a very tall room or stairwell.) The center light pan is 18" in diameter.
