Lighting: Gas-look light

Fashioned from solid brass, the reproduction fixture looks like a turn-of-the-century combination gas and electric fixture, but it is pure electric. Each of the three sockets use a 60-watt bulb. Contrasting patinas on the brass arms highlight the unique metal work. Price for this Victorian-era reproduction wall light is $495 (February 2005).
