This is a marvelous figural antique seven-tier, three-light “wedding cake†chandelier, circa 1910. The silver plate chandelier begins with an understated canopy, which comes down in a chain to a cast loop finial composed of volutes. The body of the chandelier is crowned with an urn featuring four feminine visages with flowing hair. Beneath, the silver-plated fixture is surrounded by a magnificent border, which features volute and foliate details with a background of intricate lattice detail. Seven tiers of the original cut crystal spears descend to meet an incredible, oversized faceted crystal ball. This spectacular tiered light fixture is in excellent condition, and all the original crystal prisms are also in excellent condition. It has been professionally rewired, and it comes with all the necessary attachments for modern installation. This chandelier is 30-1/2†wide and 53-1/2†tall overall; from the crystal sphere to the top of the finial, the chandelier measures approx. 30-1/2â€.
