A Gas J is a somewhat utilitarian fixture
although we have had some that are quite
fancy. The simple ones were often the
fixtures for the Kitchens and the Servants Quarters.
They were also used over Washstands on the sides
and in the corners of bedrooms.
Nowadays they make a great small hall or
small room fixture. In a bathroom with a
pair of sconces, a Gas J can make a
great ceiling fixture. Three Js over a
Kitchen Island has been done.
