About this object
In French style. Each chandelier has six candle brackets and fluted drip pans in gilt wrought iron. Brackets are actually paired, because each pair sprouts from the same juncture on one of three parts of a more central gilt iron frame. Brackets are drpaed with crystal and glass tear, pear and geometric shaped drops, some attached to glass flowers or stars, showers of flowers and drops spring forth from the top of the chandeliers. There is a round center drop pendant at the bottom. In the central part of the chandelier are several spindly stems with leaves on them. These leafed vines which also wind around the candle brackets.
