DESCRIPTION

An elegant French-style gilt metal six-light chandelier, richly decorated with scrolling foliage and hung with faceted glass drops.

The chandelier is centred by a tall openwork stem with a cylindrical upper section, rope-twist collar and cascading pressed acanthus leaf decoration. Six scrolling foliate branches extend from the body, each terminating in a candle-form electric light fitting and embellished with further leaf ornament.

A selection of faceted glass drops hangs amongst the scrolling metalwork, catching the light and providing a pleasing contrast with the softly aged gilt finish. The chandelier is suspended from a chain and retains its ceiling fitting.

An attractive and highly decorative light with a particularly good sculptural silhouette.

DIMENSIONS

Height: 85cm excluding chain

Diameter: 61cm

CONDITION

Good decorative condition overall, with general surface wear, tarnishing and variation to the gilt finish consistent with age and use. The candle covers require replacement. The glass drops appear to comprise a mixture of forms and there may be some losses or replacements; please refer carefully to the photographs.

The chandelier is wired for electricity but, as with all vintage and pre-owned electrical fittings, the wiring should be inspected and approved by a suitably qualified electrician before installation or use.

ABOUT ALSO ANTIQUES

Thank you for viewing this piece from ALSO Antiques.

We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

VIEWING

Viewing is welcome by appointment at our premises in North Yorkshire, close to the Lancashire border. If there is anything you would like to know before purchasing, we are always happy to answer questions, provide additional photographs or check particular measurements.

DELIVERY & COLLECTION

Collection is welcome by arrangement.

We can usually arrange delivery throughout mainland UK using trusted independent furniture couriers, charged at cost. As a general guide, delivery for an average-sized chest of drawers is typically £80–£100. Larger items and more remote locations will incur higher charges.

Most deliveries are completed within approximately two weeks, although faster delivery may sometimes be available. Standard delivery is to the ground floor unless otherwise agreed, and the courier will normally contact you in advance with the proposed delivery arrangements.

Please contact us with your postcode for a delivery quotation before purchasing.

AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
