This chandelier was originally installed in the famous Detroit Edison Service/ General Office Building auditorium in 1922. Designed by the distinguished Detroit architecture firm Smith Hinchman & Grylls, the Service building is a jewel of renaissance-revival architecture and has been a downtown Detroit landmark for nearly 100 years! With direction from the architect, the design and manufacture of these fantastic lights was completed by Luminaire Studios, the custom-design division of The National X-Ray Reflector Co. of Chicago. The National X-ray Reflector Co. (later the Curtis Lighting Co) was renowned for its line of highly-efficient glass 'reflector" shades and 'Eye Comfort" indirect lighting systems. The quality, and scale of this chandelier is absolutely exceptional and would make a striking addition to any Tudor, Gothic, or Renaissance-Revival interior. Old-world craftsmanship with modern-day electrics and fit for a medieval castle!
