Eren Berg Studios introduces it’s newest creations using real 1890’s “Luxfer” prism glass. Luxfer glass is very collectable and best known for their association with Frank Lloyd Wright. He designed and held 41 prism glass patents. Our new design is a nod to this celebrated architect. Now two of these highly sought after 5″x5″ prismatic panels can be found in each of our new pendent lamps. This special glass was the product of a gas lamp age. The electric lamp was not yet in use so any additional light that could be brought into a building was a great benefit. These original panels were salvaged from the front transoms of Turn-Of-The-Century buildings. There they were used to refract light hitting the building and carry it deep into the interior. The use of manganese in the original manufacturing process, combined with over a 100 years of sun light are responsible for turning the glass from clear to this beautiful purple/lavender. The new lamp measures 5.25″x9″ at it’s widest point and is 5.25″ tall. All are well made lamps using 1/8″ thick iron panels that hold the glass. It’s Illuminated with a single round candelabra bulb. Our Luxfer lamp can be delivered as a pendent, flush mount or sconce. Special care is always taken with the hand finished patina…. $425 each
