Entry Hall Lighting

A few months ago, I found a killer late 19th century light fixture online.  I was able to buy it and immediately took it to my friend Josh at Carlson Galleries.  Their team was able to restore the tarnished bronze elements and electrify it in a tasteful manner.

After some discussion about where to put such a unique piece, it was installed in the entry room.  The chandelier will serve as accent lighting, supplemented by a pair of wall sconces and an antique floor lamp.  This figural bronze fixture is graced with double-headed dragons, cross symbolism, perched griffins, and a mysterious Latin inscription.  It probably came out of a Masonic temple, but am not certain at this point.

Here are Justin, Josh, and Matt (L to R) installing the fixture.  (This room has not yet been painted and needed considerable plaster repair).

Another success for the men in blue!
