Vintage 1975 EK Hollywood Regency Brass 5 Light Cascade Swag Chandelier Lamp
Description
This is a rare and stunning 1975 vintage 5-light cascade swag chandelier manufactured by "E K" in the USA. A quintessential piece of late Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency design, it features a heavy ornate brass-finished metal body with 5 arms that drop at staggered heights, creating a dramatic cascading effect.
The highlight of this lamp is the set of 5 thick, heavy pressed glass shades with a sharp, geometric diamond crystal pattern. When lit, the brutalist-style textured glass beautifully refracts light, casting warm and intricate shadows across the room. It retains its vintage inline on/off wheel switch marked "Leviton MADE IN U.S.A." A magnificent statement piece for any vintage lighting collector or mid-century interior lover.

Condition Report / Important Notes
- Glass Shades: Considering the sharp, crystalline design of these vintage shades, they are in remarkably good condition with minimal damage compared to most survivors. There are some minor flea bites/roughness along the sharp edges. One shade has a small chip on a bottom corner point, and another shade has a corner crack that shows old repair marks. All 5 display beautifully when hung.
- Hardware & Screws: A few of the small thumb screws that hold the glass shades are slightly stripped/worn, but all screws still function properly and securely hold all glass shades in place.
- Maintenance & Wiring: The fixture was previously used near a kitchen area, so the cord had some sticky residue. It has been thoroughly cleaned and treated with an anti-rust agent. A slight oily residue from the rust-preventative treatment remains on the surfaces; this is completely normal and will naturally dry out and become clean over the next few months.
- Bulbs Not Included: Please note that light bulbs are NOT included in this auction. The bulbs shown in the photographs are modern LED filament bulbs used strictly for testing and demonstration purposes. You can use any standard E26 medium base bulbs (traditional incandescent or modern LED) of your choice.
- Functionality: Fully tested and all 5 lights illuminate perfectly.
