Produced from Breadslee/Williamson, Chicago’s Premium lighting supplier in the 1930’s, this chandelier is signed Williamson & Co, a truly rare find of antique art deco glass and the ‘slipper shade’. In the 1929 patent - the ‘slipper shade’ was created to provide novel and simple means for mounting a shade on the fixture in a secure manner and conversely, a way to readily and quickly detach at any time for cleaning or other purposes. The only oversight of the design was the ease that the glass could be removed, or knocked out from the mount system, causing the glass, 85 years later, to become quite rare.
