The Warden spotted this one and said “I don’t hate that, you should get it.” Made by Loevsky & Loevsky of Carlstadt, NJ. I originally thought 1960s but further research says probably 1930s.
I believe it was electroplated brass and I lost a lot of that during the initial cleaning, so I went with a gloss gold spray paint. I tried to keep it accurate to the period, but I think I ended up channeling my Grandma Iannucci! She had a massive chandelier and I know it was in my parents attic before the house was sold. I was hoping to incorporate some of the crystals from it but no luck in locating it. So off to Amazon I went. I did flip flop the marble piece that was under the base before (mistakenly I think). Happy with it. Let’s see if the Warden still doesn’t hate it!
