A set of antique silvered / mirrored saucer or dished shades by STRAND ELECTRIC LONDON and labelled as such on each shade within red shield shaped labels. English approx. 1930-40s. The shades were silvered to the outside and then protected by paint and sometimes a layer of copper too. Up to 15 available, some with paint losses and the silver tarnished to a champagne / gold colour. Most retain the red labels. These ones are wired with bronzed brass BC lampholders / cordgrips, bronzed brass galleries and 1.25m black fabric flex. Different flex length / colour could be supplied. Dimensions in inches/cms; 8.5″/21.5cm diameter. 4.5″/11.5cm tall inc cordgrip. Weight is approx. 0.5kgeach. Priced individually. ** Please note I can also supply these wired with patinated brass ES lampholders (see separate advert) to facilitate use of small crown silvered “golf ball” type of bulbs which are not available in a BC fitting. The smaller bulb keeps it more within the shade for better looks and reflection. The images here show regular golf ball and candle bulbs as well as the larger BC crown silver bulb. The smaller ES crown silver bulbs / ES lampholders are shown in a separate advert with similar shades.** I also have 5 slightly deeper dished shades that would be suitable for wall lights and can be made up to suit with brass arms etc. Click photos to enlarge…
