As someone that collects Victorian Furniture for a Victorian home, modern or even "restoration" reproduction lighting ends up looking out of place so I have installed and display many pieces of period lighting.
Here is one fixture that I wish I had hanging over my pool table in the parlor. I believe the seller of this antique billiard light may be correct when they claim that this may be the finest that you may ever see. This 1880's electrified gas fixture will hang 60" from your ceiling. Shades are new.
Bidding on February 4th starts at $3,650 and the expected range is $37,000 to $39,500. You can view the listing here.
