for hanging lamps, sconces, and some desk lamps

By the early 1800's, most large American cities had public gaslight until electric lighting took its place in the later part of the century. Early electricity, however, was undependable and lighting fixtures that could use both gas and electric became popular, although short-lived.

Combination Electric and Gas Hanging Lamp at The Antique Lamp Co.In general, whether a vintage fixture was "born" electric or gas, is generally determined by which direction the shades face, either up or down. Shades that face upwards were made to accommodate gas jets and are generally larger, usually with 4" fitters. Shades which face downwards were made for electric light bulbs and have smaller 21/4" fitters. They are often referred to as tulip shades. 21/4" tulip shades are the most versatile of all glass shades. They originally debuted in the earliest of electric lighting fixtures to reduce the glare and are still today used on sconces, desk lamps, pan lamps and other hanging lamps. Although there are exceptions, it is a good rule of thumb to go by.
