This Chandelier is absolutely breathtaking. It is as much a work of art as it is a useful item. It is what I refer to as a re-invented antique chandelier. It is where I take an already beautiful antique piece and recreate it into an even more magnificent one of a kind, working piece of art. One of a kind is so very important , as one tends to see so many cookie cutter designer looks. The main heavy body is very old probably 1920's give or take. It is so very ornate and in excellent con...dition, I am guessing it is the standard metal used back then, non-magnetic and heavy. Make no mistake this is a thick, solid very well constructed piece It is a quality made detail oriented beautiful chandelier. Nothing cheap about it. It was originally a 6 light, but I converted it to a 8 light. The lights added were the inside center light and the down center light. This not only added much more to the overall appeal, but provides much better lighting. It has been completely rewired. One can choose to direct wire it or the cord is long , so one could attach a plug to it as well. It also is adorned with 12 large burgundy flowers that play off the gold chandelier, they have a matte china type texture, unsure of the material. they have a very expensive look and feel. If you have a certain color scheme you are working with I will replace the flowers to a custom color for no extra cost to you. I can match any color you have in mind. Also added as adornments are 6 Griffins guarding their kingdom. The 7 glass shades, compliment the piece and allow the different lighting effects to be more dramatic. There are 188 hanging ornate prisms that add to the spectacular lighting effects, these are of a high quality clear acrylic, they are ornate, unique and beautiful. The prisms could be replaced with glass for about 250.00, but the prisms would not be as ornate or as long. But for those who prefer glass it would not be a lot to totally replace the 188 prisms. The chain appears older and again adds yet another point of interest. I have never ran across a chain such as this with each link approx 4 inches long, the whole chain length is just over 3 feet and very heavy duty. The chain alone is worth $100. This Chandeliers measurements are, body from where the chain attaches to the top of the chandelier to the bottom of the lowest prism tip is 30 inches long... and 27 inches wide at its widest. This is a heavy piece and will need extra support , I estimate it around 35 pounds. But it will be well worth it. With todays climate of Eclectic Decor, this fits so many design styles. But, as one can see, Art Deco...Nouveau...French and Gothic features it has a wealth of. One thing is for sure wherever it is displayed and with whatever style it is displayed with, it will be the center of attention. It will make that room. To me it is the most beautiful chandelier on Ebay at present and again, one of a kind. Yes, newer items have been added to enhance the beauty, but if this were all original the price would be a lot more and it would not be nearly as beautiful, in my opinion. This is a STEAL..... It will be shipped in a custom wooden crate, fully braced. The more delicate glass items will be shipped in individual boxes , everything fully insured. Free shipping is for lower 48 states.
