An early, circa 1860, converted gas chandelier with Crystal arms and column pieces. Glass items are in excellent condition. Bobesches were drilled in an early electrification process and one shade has a small bottom rim flake. The shades are early 5" etched with a floral pattern and high crown. These shades are some of the nicest you will find and have a clear bold design. The wiring is all new as well as the sockets and a ground wire is also installed. The crystal arm sockets and other hardware are silver plated and in good condition with only minimal wear; the shade holders and some metal parts e.g. socket covers have been replated. All of the restoration has been done in our shop.The width from shade to shade is 35" & the center column drop or length is 55" from the top loop to the bottom glass ball. This is an excellent example of Mid-19th Century Lighting.
Price: $1900
Note: We will restore 2 matching four arm chandeliers, very similar in appearance to this one. The four arm chandeliers have large bobesches/covers in the bottom center and the shades are old early ones, but do not have the high crowns. The one four arm chandelier is restored at this time.
