Step back into the golden age of cinema with this authentic antique theater exit light shade, crafted from stunning ruby red cranberry glass and dating back approximately 100 years.

This beautiful piece once glowed above a theater doorway, guiding patrons through dimly lit aisles during the early days of film and vaudeville.

Today, it stands as a remarkable piece of vintage lighting history and a true collector’s treasure. 

Made from rich cranberry glass, this shade displays that unmistakable deep ruby tone that collectors and glass enthusiasts actively seek out. The color is vibrant and even, catching the light beautifully whether illuminated or displayed as part of a vintage lighting collection.

Cranberry glass of this age is becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in such well-preserved condition.

The shade measures 6 inches across and features a properly ground fitter designed to fit a 3 ¼ inch fixture.

The authentic ground glass fitter ensures a secure and correct fit for restoration projects, making this an excellent choice for anyone restoring antique theater lighting, vintage exit signs, or early commercial fixtures. The craftsmanship reflects the quality standards of early 20th century glass production.

For being over a century old, this antique exit shade remains in excellent condition. It shows the honest character of age without compromising its beauty or functionality. There are no cracks or structural damage, making it a rare find for serious vintage lighting collectors, cranberry glass enthusiasts, or anyone building an authentic period-correct restoration.

Whether you collect antique theater memorabilia, restore historic buildings, or specialize in vintage lamp parts and lighting components, this ruby red cranberry glass exit shade is a standout piece. It also makes a striking display item for collectors of early cinema history or architectural salvage.

Authentic antique lighting like this does not surface often, especially in this condition and size.

Add a true piece of theater history to your collection while preserving a functional artifact from a bygone era of American entertainment.
