19th century 2-tier SIX branch Glass Chandelier

Price: £2750
Stock No. 1858/A

 

A 19th century (possibly Murano) 2-tier SIX branch Glass Chandelier.

The many drops give this example an impressive appearance. The ‘upturned Mexican hat’ glass base has 28 drops around its circumference and a large faceted glass ball hanging beneath. Each of the six smaller sconces, that support the electric lamps, has 12 drops each. There are a further 4 glass swirls. The upper tier has six glass swirls, each with a glass ring and doplet. The electrical connection at the top is hidden behind a further glass ‘bowl’.

The chandelier has a central metal column with glass sleeves and is currently wired for electricity (which will need to be checked by a qualified electrician before use).

Dimensions: Height: 39 inches (99 cm). Diameter: 33 inches (84 cm)

Date: c.1860-80.
