October Fall Classic
Lot 1329:
Description
These are fantastic examples of mid-century industrial lighting: a lot of seven matching green porcelain enamel “barn” or “vapor-proof” style lamp shades. The design, with its rolled rim and threaded neck, points toward high-quality, utilitarian fixtures, likely manufactured by a major lighting company like Benjamin or Crouse-Hinds, though no manufacturer marks are visible. The deep, rich green enamel on the exterior is perfectly contrasted by the high-gloss white porcelain interior, a classic combination for maximizing light reflection in factory, barn, or warehouse settings. The style is classic industrial, highly sought after today for modern farmhouse and loft-style décor. The shades are in very good vintage condition, exhibiting excellent color retention and gloss. There are minor, expected scuffs and a few small edge chips to the porcelain near the rims and fitter necks, consistent with decades of use, but no major rust or crazing is apparent. The lot includes seven individual shades. H 8″, W 18″, D 18″
