Description

My grandparents bought this crystal chandelier in Denmark in the 1950's. My mother inherited it when my Mormor and Morfar passed on. My mother recently gave it to me as we found it when we were cleaning the attic. It has been in storage since the mid 60's. It is genuine prismatic crystal, and has a bronze frame. No pieces are missing. It has fixtures for 3 light bulbs at the center. No ground wiring. There are 30 strands that go from the outer ring to the center ring. Each one of these strands has a total of 9 different sized crystals. At the center ring there are 16 short strands that hang down. These short strands have 2 crystals each, 1 short and one long. There is also one center strand that hangs down in the dead center. This center strand contains 5 small crystals on top of the one big ball crystal at the bottom. Grand total is 270 + 32 + 6 = 308 total crystals. I have looked all over this thing for identifying numbers or letters but cannot find any. Is there a certain place or distinguishing marks these are forged with? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
