Need help Identifying Antique Chandelier?

12 years ago

Can anybody help me identify this Chandelier? I found it in my Aunts garage after she passed. She and my Uncle were avid collectors of antiques. Anyways, this has been bugging me and I would love it if anyone here might have some idea as to what type of Chandelier this is. Thanks!!

Appears to be copper and caramel slag in the arts and crafts style....about 1900 to 1915.

In the style of Arts & Crafts, but I do not believe it to be old. The bulb holders are new, the shade holders are of a newer type, the chain is newer type, the shades are not of the quality of the period.

Help identify this vintage/antique chandelier?!

Very unlikely there are any markings, These types of chandeliers were more popular in the mid century. As an electrician we have installed a few of these. They are more costly if all the original "stuff" is still there. We recently installed a fixture similar to this in a huge closet.

It appears, by the pictures you have shown to be a late18th or early 19th century Queen Ann highboy dresser. It's hand made, probably mahogany, because these pieces usually were. If it's all it appears to be, and the finish and brasses are all original...likely it's worth in excess of $30,000. I hope your son treats it with respect!

Need help identifying and valuing antique mirror

Really a fabulous mirror......appears to be gold leaf over carved wood ( not plaster!!)...beveled glass, in wonderful condition. I would call it more Deco than Egyptian Revival...it's really Really nice. As for value....you need to find someone who knows more about current styles and what's desirable than I do....could easily bring $3,000 or perhaps more at the right auction. It's not age that gives this value but the workmanship...is that black lacquer? If this is an example of what's in that apartment....look very carefully at every thing else before selling!

Can anyone help identify these chandeliers? Are they antique?
Q
Comments (4)
Not antique....but whoever described them should have said "antique style". You have already said you don't like them....but I will add my "ewww!" to that! They are some sort of messed up modern attempt at "elegant" and "traditional" and missed the mark!

If I was to sell this, would Ebay be the best option? I haven't sold any antiques on Ebay before but I was just wondering. The thing with Antiques is they are so broad, I am learning so much lately it gets pretty overwhelming. Appreciate any advice on value and ways to sell this.

Put an ad in your local paper.....and I DO believe it dates from about 1910.
If you go the eBay route you will have to charge a lot to ship.
Craig's list is another option.
