If it were original to the house, it likely has little to no antique value and you could find styles nearly identical in stores today. Is the issue that it may be a valuable piece because the prisms are crystal, as opposed to glass? IOW, you'd only save it if they were real crystal? Look at the other materials in this fixture to determine if it's a fine, arty piece worth keeping or not. I got a crystal hurricane lamp a few years ago at the supermarket for eight dollars, so crystal itself doesn't necessary imply quality, just glass with lead in it. On the other hand, I bought a chandelier at a hardware store with plain old glass prisms on it and I paid a small fortune for it even at half price. See what I mean? BTW, regarding that chandelier from the hardware store.........I hung it in my kitchen at my farm house and filthy it got from horse dust and gas grease! The easiest way I found to clean the scads of prisms was to just unhook them and run them though my dishwasher. LOL.

Try Sheri. I haven't bought chandeliers from her, but I have bought wind chimes and the materials and work were excellent. She'll make up whatever you want for a very reasonable price. Look at the sold items and gallery to get an idea of whether it's the kind of chandelier you want. Most of hers are small, but she does do large ones, too. However, they are crystal chandeliers, not primarily metal with a few crystals. I think she has a store, but it's in the Rochester area. Here is a link that might be useful: sheri's crystal designs

Annz and jjam, thank you for the pictures of your chandeliers. They look beautiful. Dulthinbloomz4, patricia43, oceanna and ratherbegardening, I appreciate the tips on how to clean crystal. It sounds like everyone likes their chandelier, even if it is a bit labor intensive to keep them clean. Anyone else have any pictures to share? Jjim, I am a bit hesitant to look on ebay, just because of worrying about breakage. Plus, the lighting store said they will hang the chandelier for us which is included in the price. I may look on ebay anyway to see what I can find.

I just figured this out a few years ago. It may have been something everyone else learned when they were children but I am going to share it because it has helped me. When I am trying to clean something particularly grimy, I try to clean as much as I can with a dry method - cloth, vacuum, brush, whatever. Then I use the wet cleaner. I used to spray the heck out of everything and then get frustrated by the dirt and cleaning solution mud. With your chandelier, I'd feather-dust it or run a soft brush vacuum attachment over it before I sprayed. Good luck, hope the spray works well!
