These fixtures were supposedly used in the billiard room of Whitemarsh hall, a massive Horace Trumbauer mansion built for Edward Stotesbury. The mansion, which was demolished in the late 1970's, had over 150 rooms on 300 acres. It was often referred to as the American Versailles.

At the turn of the 20th century the E. F. Caldwell Company was the most sought after metalworks designer and manufacturer in the United States. With a specialty in electric lighting, their high quality castings and opulent beaux arts designs were favored by the architects of the "Gilded Age" mansions and large public buildings.
