This hammered bronze chandelier by Moe Bridges features the original canopy, decorative finial, and 5 lights on arms radiating from the center in the shape of a star with a sunburst pattern on the bottom.
Brothers Henrik and Ole Moe founded the Moe Bridges Company in 1919 in Milwaukee, WI, where it was prominent until 1934 when it was acquired by Electric Sprayit Company. Due to the short life of the Moe Bridges Company, light fixtures bearing its name are relatively rare. Moe Bridges specialized in reverse-painted lamps, which were painted on the inside. The designs often featured landscapes with forest or country scenes, and a water element. Products were typically signed on the shade of the light and the base, if it has one.
We find that early antique lighting was designed as objects of art and we treat each fixture with careful attention to preserve original beauty. Our fixtures are cleaned, rewired, and restored & are ready to hang, following UL standards. We can work with you on code requirements.
