This is a handsome antique cast iron Tudor five-light chandelier, circa 1930 and found in a home in Raleigh, NC. The chandelier begins with an understated canopy, coming down in a chain to a loop finial ornamented with a stylized pair of dogs’ heads. Below the finial, the chandelier body is supported by chains hanging from five trefoil hooks. Each chain is accented by a diamond-shaped foliate medallion. The ring-style, cast iron chandelier body features a hammered texture and an underside decorated with abstracted foliate designs. Extending from the chandelier body are five arms, formed of stylized fleur-de-lis, which support hammered bobeches with twisted finials. On the underside of the chandelier, volute details converge into a foliate medallion, ending in a twisted spike finial. This light fixture is in excellent condition. It has been professionally rewired and comes with all the necessary attachments for modern installation. The chandelier body measures 18 ¼†wide and 21 ¾†tall, and the fixture is 34†long overall.
