Description
Hello there, i need some guidance regarding an antique chandelier. I am a contractor that recently renovated a $15 million dollar home and all the sconces and chandeliers were replaced. The homeowner due to backcharges on the project donated this chandelier. i planned on installing it in my home but its just massive and too big, i'm not a chandelier expert thats why im contacting you, i will try to describe it as best as i could. It’s an 18 light solid bronze chandelier with 6 arms and each arm has 3 branches each with a light. The arms and branches are very detailed, the measurements are as follow: 32" inches wide (diameter), 35" high (with the short chain extended) and weighs about 37 pounds.
Re: 18 Light Antique Bronze chandelier
That is a lovely gilt bronze chandelier, I would think 1940's or 50's due to the style of the faux candle light bulb holders, but it's hard to be sure, a lot of these things were converted to electric, so it is possible that it's a very old piece, but not very likely. Either way, these things can be worth quite a bit depending on who made them, and when, and you'd really have to have an expert look at it in person to determine that, and what you should expect to get out of it. But I will say that it appears to be french in style, and that there are some similar gilt bronze chandeliers selling on ebay for around $5000-7000, hope this helps!
