This is a beautiful antique Neoclassical five-light chandelier with flowers, in iron and silver plate over brass, with the original polychrome finish. Dating from the 1920’s, the chandelier begins with a canopy ornamented with silver plated, polychrome leaves and a torsade border. Below, the chain comes down to a polychrome loop finial nestled in a cluster of silver plated acanthus. Five wrought iron bands, overlaid with silver leaves, come down to form the chandelier body, meeting at the bottom in a silver plated vase filled with polychrome flowers. The chandelier arms branch out to support polychrome bobeches surrounded by silver acanthus leaves. The chandelier finishes in a silver plated acorn 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 17†wide and 24†tall, and the fixture is 39 ½†long overall. Two coordinating chandelier by the same maker are also available, listed under item # NC837.
