This chandelier was hanging in one of the upstairs bedrooms of the house we just purchased. The house is a 1925 Colonial which was originally built for the professional baseball players so that they could walk to the field. The chandelier is original to the house.
From Coimbra, Portugal. There are not many on the American Market. The city of Coimbra has been making pottery for many centuries. The piece was produced at the Conimbriga Ceramic Factory, founded in the city of Condeixa. The fatory is known for its majolica earthenware, whose designs are based on tradional pieces dating back to the 17th century.
