Offered for sale is a complete antique, and original tin ceiling salvaged by me in the early 1980's.
It is from one of the late 1800's engineering buildings that was scheduled for demolition on the Purdue University Indiana campus
I had intended to utilize this in the ball room of my 1902 4 story victorian home, but just never got around to installing it.
It is in excellent original condition.
No rust.
There will be some nail holes, and some sections may require a bit of straightening, re-contouring, but all are eminently usable.
I took down thousands of square feet of this ceiling and this was the best of the lot.
Some of the components have been stripped and primed.
ALL components of the ceiling are included:
1\.
Approx 112 feet of a 6 inch wide domed trim, only one like this I ever saw, in about 8 foot lengths, original painted condition
2\.
A number of wooden backing blocks for above
3\.
Not pictured, 4 square raised junction blocks for trim above, about 3 inches deep
4\.
Approx 132 feet of 8 inch wide cornice trim, which should cover about 6 inches of the ceiling and wall, in various lengths, about 56 feet of which has been stripped and primed.
5\.
A box of wooden backing blocks for above
6\.
9 each - 2 foot square by about 3 inch deep panels for mounting light fixtures.
These are the ONLY ones of these that I have EVER seen.
8 are painted, 1 is stripped and primed.
All are in excellent condition.
VERY RARE
7\.
196 square feet of main pattern tiles.
Most are 2 foot x 4 foot, 11 are 1 foot x 4 foot.
48 sq ft are stripped and primed, the remainder are original white paint
8\.
104 square feet (13 PANELS) of a 2 x 4 foot field panel, 9 panels are stripped and primed, the others are original white paint.
This stuff is expensive and hard to find.
I have only seen one instance of an entire room selling and it was nowhere as complete nor ornate as this lot.
Total square footage is just over 500 for the lot.
Local pickup only as I no longer have a business from which to ship this, although if you would like to contact a packer and shipper with a truck who could pick up and ship, that would be fine with me.
