My grandfather, Joseph, had a PHD in English Literature and made his living in the small town newspaper business buying bankrupt papers, making them profitable and then selling them for a tidy profit. He was also a great contrarian running Democrat-leaning newspapers in Republican Iowa and Republican-leaning newspapers in very Democratic Louisiana. We visited him often and on Sunday's after Church he would take us to a fancy hotel on Lake Pontchartrain outside of New Orleans for Sunday Brunch held in the hotel's grand ballroom under the most spectacular chandeliers I as a young boy had ever seen. I know now the style was American Modern Arts & Crafts and Kichler has reproduced one of the great classics in that style, Magnolia Pontchartrain - Magnolia Art Glass over a lower bowl of genuine Scavo Glass for extra brightness. The semi flush features Kichler's 3-arm hanging system of zinc steel with a Tannery Bronze finish on all metalwork. The upper shade is 100% art glass both copper foiled and hand leaded - for extra brightness the bottom of the shade is genuine Scavo Glass beige-off -white in color. The overall height is 10.5". The shade diameter is 19" and takes 3 x 60watts for great ceiling mount light. #K69045 Bright Spot Price including UPS delivery
