<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PDProps, post: 292874, member: 2156&quot;]We were lucky enough to come across 2 complete Markel ceiling lamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Priced at 790$ Canadian[ATTACH=full]94978[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Piece needs re wiring.</p><p><br /></p><p>This lamp was made by Markel Lighting in the 1930&#039;s and is part of the 4870 line.</p><p><br /></p><p>The base is made of cast iron that has been sprayed gold and has lines decorating it as well as a geometric design that the wire snakes around. The bottom is a pearlized shade that looks rainbow like in different lights. There are 5 sockets. This part is 16 1/2&quot; long and the chain adds another approx 7&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Each of the 5 slip shades is the same luster cream with golden yello lined and 3 petals or water drops. Each is approx 6&quot; tall and 4 1/4&quot; across at the widest. These have a flowing shape and are very art deco.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is some gold paint chipping on the base and a few small scratches on the shades but nothing obvious, just from use. One of the shades has 2 black marks on the base that is not visible when hanging and these are deliberate marks. Not sure why! Some of the edges are a bit rough as well with some a couple of slight chips but these are not present on the visible parts.</p><p><br /></p><p>The circular plate that goes directly on the ceiling is nearly 5 1/4&quot; across and 2 3/4&quot; from the bottom to the tip of the cone.</p><p><br /></p><p>A very rare piece that is in very good condition![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
