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. Wired with bronzed brass ES lampholders/cordgrips, bronzed brass galleries and 1.25m bergundy fabric flex. Different flex length / colour can be supplied. **These are wired with patinated brass ES lampholders 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. Slightly dearer so if you don’t need a small crown silvered bulb or any other ES bulb specifically go for the BC lampholder option (separate advert). Dimensions in inches/cms; 8.5″/21.5cm diameter. 4.5″/11.5cm tall inc cordgrip. Weight is approx. 0.5kgeach. Priced individually. 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…
