About this object
The chandelier has a three part central silvered scroll type frame, pear shaped, holds three flasks, six brackets hold electrified candle lights, two between each flask. Winding leafed vines meander throughout the central section of the chandelier around a glass baluster shaped urn attached to the base, but free at its top. A shower of three large tear drops attached to flowers and three smaller tear drops between the larger ones spring forth from the top of the chandelier. Around base are eight upturned silver plates casings for small lights. There are large faceted tear and geometric drops suspended overall, as well as flowers and stars, and a large round unfaceted drop pendant.
