[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 627369, member: 8258"]I'd call it a Mission style pendant fixture. Those dates are accurate on the Perkins "fat boy" keyed sockets. Check the fitter rings. A lot of them had patent dates. UNO was a popular brand back then. It's tough to tell because of the lighting, but it looks like what's referred to as a Japanned finish where you'd have a darker color with flashes of a copper or brass color. The cleaning method will be determined by the material. the sockets and the fitters should be brass. Depending on age, the chain may be brass or steel. Check with a magnet. Obviously, you don't want to get steel very wet unless you can get it dried quickly. If you have an air compressor, you can blow off a lot of intricacies of the chain to save time.
