Description

Vintage gilt cast brass chandelier with 5 lights and 5 arms, 40 handcut pear crystals prisms. A tag remains attached to the top of the chandelier that states made in Spain. Also under the canopy is a label that reads Samara Inc UL underwriter's Laboratories issue D-87942. This is a family heirloom and belonged to my grandmother. I believe this item is from the 1930's. It measures 18" tall and 20" wide. It has a 10" chain and a brass canopy. I only have 19 complete crystals. I have 11 of the big portions of the crystals and 7 of the small portions of the crystals.
