Each fixture utilizes 1 Edison socket and the internal brass ring structure serves as a way to both aesthetically integrate the bulb and to soften and spread light evenly. It is rare to find a matched set of 3 pieces, especially in such very good condition. Priced and Sold as a Set of 3 pieces. Dimensions: the dimensions of each brass fixture without a hanging cord is H: 10 x D: 16.5. Hanging cord can vary according to need. The piece can also be made to flush mount, use as lanterns and are ideal for task lighting in a kitchen etc.
