Coca-Cola Chandelier, Used in Eurich's Ice Cream Parlor, circa 1900
Add to SetSummary
This chandelier originally hung in an early-20th-century Detroit area store -- one that probably sold ice cream and fountain drinks and sodas. The glowing light was a perfect way to advertise Coca-Cola -- a drink available at the store's counter. And the Tiffany-inspired glass shade would have evoked a high-quality status to the store it graced.
