3-Arm Decorative Gilt Chandelier, CA. 1900
This is an example of an extremely detailed gilt chandelier that has been recently restored to its former glory.
The canopy of this chandelier has a flowery tulip shape with a very detailed patterned design on the underside of the tulip. Underneath the canopy a single light is concealed again with a flowery design.
From the canopy there are three rope stays with a ribbon and bow design which connect to the main part of the chandelier.
The 3 arms of the chandelier are exquisitely detailed, each having a swirly leaf design and each connected to the other with a leaf drape. In between each arm there another stay protruding out and down with a flower head and bud design, the end of which has a lovely finial to finish.
The centre of the chandelier has a cylindrical Urn-type design with beautifully finished top.
The bottom of the chandelier ends with a budding flower finial.
A very rare find due to the amount of detailed brass work that makes up a wonderful example of an all brass chandelier.
