Re: Italian cherub porcelain chandelier
This chandelier is beautiful but unfortunately the value in today's market is far from what was once paid. This work would date between 1950- the time of purchase. Similar works in todays market routinely sell for $200-600 at auction and up to $800-1000 in retail galleries.
Here is a link to a similar piece for sale, in a retail gallery, for around $700.
