By the end of the 1920s, only two different PH chandeliers had been designed, the “Academy” lamp and the “Anchor” lamp. The remaining well-known chandeliers were introduced later during the 1930s. This Anchor lamp is one of the earliest versions and was made in 1928, and it is very rarely seen with six arms.
