Adams & Westlake Fleur De Lis Railroad Grand Chandelier

Description

Luxmen Lighting presents The Grand Fleur De Lis 2 arm and 4 arm, Railroad Chandelier.

This Fixture was only used in the highest class railcars, as well as private Varnish Coaches, One specific instance was for the President for the Great Northern Railway, James J. Hill, and is the reason we are replicating this chandelier.  Mr. Hill’s 1899 Private coach is being restored, and the original fixtures, of which we identified, were presumably removed in the 1930s, necessitating the replication of the original chandeliers.  Very few pieces of these lamps have turned up over the years, and surely not enough has turned up to outfit an entire railcar.

I’ve meticulously replicated parts from an original pieces, creating identical and fully functional oil lamps. Our museum setup utilizes warm L.E.D. Spot Lamps in the smoke bells for a flame-like effect that is very convincing.

The 2 arm lamp consist of about 29 Metal Castings, using the lost 3D printed wax method, 12 metal spinning, many milled parts, and 6 glass elements – faithfully replicating the intricate 19th-century Victorian Masterpiece.

Our U.S.-made lamps are assembled in San Diego County, offering standard two-arm or prestigious four-arm chandeliers in polished two-tone brass/bronze, Brass Plated/Polished, or Nickel Plated. Optional Smoke Jacks available. Custom inquiries welcome.

This Model Lamp was offered by only the largest Railcar Hardware Maker, Adams & Westlake.  The vertical Column Design of the fount holder was not achievable naturally with casting methods at the time.  A&W was showing off their capabilities by designing a cast holder that first had to be cast in the flat, then formed hot into the circular fount holder. It was then machined for the parts that get soldered to it, and the seam is brazed solid with silver brazing rod.  This process was not replicated by competitors to my best knowledge.
