A delightful antique two-light cast bronze pendant light with its original polychrome finish, found in a home in Chicago, IL and signed by Riddle. Dating from the 1920s, the chandelier begins with an intricately cast canopy, which comes down in a chain to meet a framework composed of volutes and stylized foliate details. Polychrome accents in red and blue accent the chandelier throughout. Perched within the center of the fixture are two lights which sit atop a pedestal-shaped bobeche; stylized leaves hug each candle and attach to the outer framework. 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 7-1/8†wide and 18†tall, and the fixture is 32-1/4†long overall.
