I am uncertain as to exactly how old it is, but I believe it dates sometime from the beginning of the 20th century, possibly 1920s or 1930s. Please use your judgment though.
The chandelier measures 20 3/4 inches tall (53 cm). It measures 17 inches across (43 cm) in each direction.
Though it looks like it was recently re-wired, it MUST BE REWIRED O...R EXAMINED BY A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN. Whoever did it, did something wrong. There is a short in one of the sockets. It may be just that socket though. Just be sure to have it checked before attempting to use it.
You will probably want to replace the white light covers, as they are chipping at the tops.
The chandelier itself is in remarkably good condition. The only defect I see is some light scraping at the bottom of the bottom finial.
The decoration on it is just lovely. The three French Imperial Eagles are a wonderful added touch.
It weighs 15 lbs. 14 oz. (7.2 kg).
I think you’ll be very pleased with it!
