Step back into a bygone era with this authentic antique ruby red glass theater exit sign shade.
Triangular in shape with beautifully beveled corners, this striking piece once glowed in an old theater, guiding patrons beneath its deep cranberry-red brilliance.
It carries the unmistakable character of early cinema architecture and classic American craftsmanship.
The design appears to be Kopp style, known for its quality glass lighting components. Each shade measures approximately 6 x 6 x 7 inches tall and features a typical ground face fitter designed to fit a 3 1⁄4 inch light fixture.
The ground fitter ensures a proper seat on compatible fixtures, just as it would have decades ago.
What makes this offering especially rare is the option to purchase one or both.
Matching pairs of antique theater exit shades are seldom found together anymore.
These were originally purchased at auction roughly 40 years ago by a collector with the foresight to preserve them. I acquired them from that very gentleman, continuing their story of careful ownership and appreciation.
Whether you are restoring a historic building, outfitting a vintage-inspired space, or adding a statement piece to your collection, these ruby red glass shades deliver authenticity, history, and unmistakable presence.
The rich color and distinctive triangular form make them stand out in any setting.
Purchase one or purchase both. The choice is yours. Simply select your preferred quantity from the drop-down menu.
This is true antique theater lighting from a lost era, not reproduction glass, making it a rare opportunity for collectors and designers alike.
