Unique Late 19th Century Bronze Chandelier with Cut and Polished Crystal Globes

The lights’ orientation, facing downwards, is a straight forward indication that the piece was made after electricity. The ornately cast arms are made of bronze, and attach to a beautiful dome. It also features a fine bronze finial indicative of the time period, surrounded by a circle of octagonal and teardrop crystal.
