The Gas Chandelier Period began in the
1850's and followed the use of fluids
(e.g. kerosene, oil)
to power chandeliers. Gas was manufactured from coal.
This was
an improvement from a safety point of view because
fluids would
tend to flow and drip to cause fire hazards.
A typical
gas chandelier (e.g. 3 arm gas chandelier) would
have 3 arms with bowl shades on the end of the arms
housing a gas flame that would light the room .
The wattage output from gas chandeliers was fairly
low.
Antique Gas fixtures can be placed in
many of the rooms in your home and vary in size and
detail.
