You are looking at a matched multi-fixture lighting set from the mid-1970s American Colonial Revival / Early Country Revival era.
1 Large Wagon-Wheel / Ring Chandelier (8-light)
2 Matching Two-Light Chandeliers
This is not a mix-and-match setup — it is a factory-matched series, designed to be installed together throughout a home (dining room, breakfast nook, entry, or great room).
That alone puts it above most single vintage fixtures on the market.
2. Design & Period-Correct Features (Why It Dates to ~1973–1978)
Every visible element aligns tightly with mid-1970s production:
Materials
Blackened steel / wrought-style iron
Turned solid wood finials and central column (oak or maple, factory-stained)
Pressed & etched glass globes with oil-lamp styling
Chain suspension with decorative iron scrollwork
This combination exploded in popularity between 1972–1978, especially in:
Suburban custom homes
“Modern Colonial” and “Early American” interiors
Farmhouse-inspired builds of the era
Glass & Shade Style
The globes are electric reproductions of kerosene/oil lamp chimneys, extremely common in:
Colonial Revival lighting catalogs
Sears / Progress / Lightolier / Moe-Bridges era designs
The etched banding and frosted bowls are machine-pressed, not hand-blown — correct for the 1970s.
3. Probable Manufacturer (Highly Likely Tier)
There are three manufacturers most associated with this exact style:
Progress Lighting (VERY likely)
Moe-Bridges
Lightolier – Colonial Series
Progress Lighting is the strongest candidate because:
They mass-produced multi-fixture matching sets
They frequently used wood + iron hybrids
Their catalogs from 1973–1977 show near-identical ring chandeliers
Without a visible maker’s tag (often removed during installation), attribution stays “attributed to”.
4. Rarity & Desirability (This Is the Important Part)
What makes this set so valuable:
Complete matched set
Original installation history (single-owner home)
No structural damage
Period-correct patina
Larger ring chandelier (hardest to find intact)
Most surviving examples:
Are single fixtures
Have missing globes
Were painted white or brass later (ruins value)
Untampered, which collectors want.
5. Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Very Good Vintage
Iron: intact, original finish with honest age
Wood: solid, no cracking visible
Glass: appears complete (huge value factor)
Wiring: original
