Antique Brass Victorian 4 Arm Chandelier

Antiques : Lamps, Lighting : Brass Chandelier

 

This brass chandelier dates to the 1870 - 1880's and was originally a gas chandelier. It has been wired for electricity. It measures approximately 33" in height and each of the 4 arms extend out 14" from the center. It measures approximately 28" from end-to-end of the the arms. The glass frosted and etched shades are original to the piece. The glass shades are in excellent condition. I can only find one of the shades that is slightly chipped at the base. No chipping or cracks elsewhere on the shades.

I show in the photos the interior of the original gas connections that were wired for electricity. This is shown in the interior of the brass ball that each arm extends from. In this area you can see 3 stamped dates. The best I can tell they read "May 16, 1882; June 18, 187?; and I think the third date is a "Pat. Pend. date of April 4, 18??".

The fixture is in very good condition. It is from the original owner's family home and has been kept in storage.
