Description: The Holophane Glass story begins in the 1890s when French electric scientist Andre Blondel and Greek engineer Spiridion Psaroudaki covered a glass globe in the laboratory with horizontal prisms positioned to manipulate light. They were awarded a U.S. patent in 1893, when Holophane fixtures were already being manufactured in France and exported across Europe and the U.S.Otis A. Mygatt acquired the rights for the illumination technology in 1896 and founded the Holophane Company in London. Holophane Glass Company was incorporated in America in 1898, with its first headquarters on Broadway in New York.I believe this shade was manufactured in the early 1900's. I have taken lots of photos of the condition so please check them out. As you can see this shade is marked Halophane. If you have any questions or require additional photos please reach out. I would say this shade is in good vintage condition for its age. It has some minor wear such as flea bites and a tiny chips in various spots around the shade but they are not easily noticed especially due to the style of the glass. There are no cracks or major breaks to the glass. All of my items come from a smoke free environment. I only charge actual shipping costs. I put the weight and size of the box into the Ebay shipping calculator and it calculates the price depending on the buyers location. Postage unfortunately has gotten extremely high and I need to put this shade in a larger box with lots of packing for protection.Thanks for looking! NO international sales please!
