<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VintageVibe_MI, post: 12408099, member: 107142&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently acquired this large, heavy leaded stained glass hanging chandelier and would highly appreciate any insights the community might have regarding its maker, origin, or exact era. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the specific details:</p><p>* Size: The shade is massive, measuring 24 inches in diameter and approximately 15 inches in height. </p><p>* Glass: It features a geometric moss-green and cream slag glass dome with a pink/white/amber floral border along the rim.</p><p>* Hardware/Sockets: It is anchored by a gorgeous 3-light brass cluster socket. The brass housing is clearly stamped with the Benjamin Electric Mfg. Co. maker&#039;s mark and features patent dates: March 3, 1903, and March 24, 1908 (660W 250V). Each socket has its original white scalloped porcelain/ceramic rings. The matching ceiling canopy is also stamped &quot;BENJAMIN&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The glass and leading lines are entirely solid with no notable cracks, and the original wiring is fully tested and working. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know Benjamin clusters were heavily used by high-end makers like Handel, Duffner &amp; Kimberly, and others during the Arts &amp; Crafts movement. Does anyone recognize the specific pattern or layout of this glass shade? Is the shade contemporary to the 1908 hardware, or could it be a later Marriage/Revival piece?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much in advance for your time and expertise!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]554389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554396[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554397[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
