Underwriters Laboritories Bronze Chandelier

By cbj, 19 June, 2013
Description

I acquired this with my Aunt thinking it was a metropolitan style light made by Minka. Upon further research of the light i found a tag "Underwriters Laboritories Inc Incandescent Fixture 948503. I went to UL site and searched the #, came up empty. It has 6 bronze carved heads coming out of what I believe to be Alabaster stone. Very Heavy and ornate. 6 glass bulbs go on the heads. Cannot find this anywhere and just looking to see what it is worth. Thanks. Curious to value because My aunt looked hers up and it was going for $6,700 on ebay and we bought from same person. What style is mine? Will sell depending on appraisal.
