This piece features a ruby red glass dome with a tall hurricane lamp, and beautifully crafted brass or bronze frame. The ruby red glass dome has a unique criss cross pattern of the deep red and gold (valuable due to the use of 14kt gold in the glass). This hanging lamp was bought directly from the Brothel in Pahrump, Nevada by the owners great grandmother and is from the 1860-1870's. Each chain link is hand madewith wonderful details and the body has ornate work and overlooking eagles. The lamp has been electrified. This is an incredibly rare piece from a brothel (prostitution house). This hangs 41.5" from the ceiling and is 16" in diameter.
