Antique Lighting Fixture, cant find manufacturer!

Description

Found it in the kitchen of a house built in 1910. Looks very old, as I took it down the wiring looked ancient So much dust and accumulation on the top part I cant seem to find anything about the maker or year. There are 5 light sockets and the wiring is all in tact. Looking for any help, on the maker, or the year, or even the value! Thanks in advance!

This is a rare find. Dont clean it, dont do anything to it. Find a local conservator who can direct you to someone who can accurately determine exactly what you have. Were there any globes with it? Whatever you found with it, keep it together with the fixture. Afford yourself a good appraisal, and if its worth it, pay for the written appraisal as well. Decorators and collectors dream of finding what you have there. Not just a light fixture, a piece of art!
