Subject: Repro Gas Lighting, fabrics, etc.
Does anyone know of a good source for authentic, "Victorian" era,
post Civil War (1869-1884), reproduction gas lighting fixtures? That is,
they should be converted electric fixtures that appear to be gasoliers
with pipe, proper fittings, etc. As "authentic" reproduction as
possible. In this particular case, we're in search of "large," crystal
chandeliers (8-12 lights). Please advise.
Also, is anyone aware of good alternatives to the incredibly
expensive Scalamandre, et. al. reproduction fabrics for Victorian era
window treatments? Are their any domestic manufacturers producing material
that would be appropriate for display as late Victorian era window
treatments that are also reasonably priced (French, Second-Empire mansion)?
I have already consulted ALHFAM's Replica Resource List and the usual
suspects (web sites, google, chandelier.com, Wiliam Seale's,
Preservation Press, etc.). Thank you!
