Industrial Reclaim Lighting

Vintage Prismatic Glass Lighting for Modern Homes

A majority of our Industrial Reclaimed fixtures is represented by Vintage Holophane™ lighting. Holophane glass was precisely engineered as performance lighting to maximize illumination via deep vertical ribs. The glass prisms provide a combination of uplight and downlight to illuminate any environment evenly without creating dark spots or glare. Their unique yet subtle style blends well with every décor style from Victorian and Traditional to Modern.

Vintage Holophane Lighting and Reclaimed Antique Fixtures: Where Our Story Began

Brass Light Gallery began in 1974 by reclaiming and restoring vintage light fixtures. Throughout the years we've curated a large collection of rare vintage and antique lighting such as Vintage Holophane ceiling lights. We recondition original parts whenever possible to preserve the fixture's unique history. In other cases, our skilled artisans are able to handcraft reproduction fittings in order to showcase the true beauty of the vintage prismatic glass. Increasingly hard to find, vintage Holophane prismatic light fixtures are subject to availability.

Holophane Prismatic Glass Lighting for Modern Homes

The term "Holophane" is used generically to describe clear molded glass that features deep ribs that form prisms. These prisms can be oriented in parallel vertical or horizontal lines or even in a crosscut pattern. "Prismatic" is an alternative term for Holophane glass.

Fully Restored Vintage Lighting Fixtures Rewired for Modern Use

Our vintage prismatic pendant lights are not reproductions, but decades-old originals salvaged from amphitheaters, factories, naval yards, and other industrial buildings throughout America. Fully restored and rewired for modern use, they provide beautiful task lighting for kitchen islands, tables, and  loft spaces.

These rare pieces of original Holophane glass are exquisite examples of mid-twentieth century industrial art. The crisp, clean prismatic lines produce a glare-fee glow that's elegant and inviting when illuminated.
