Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
Understood. If the 10-light chandelier is just a little smaller, it would have basically the same description with a slightly lower value. I hope that helps.
The photo is the one with the 12 lights. Unfortunately at this time, both chandeliers are taken down and disassembled and its stored in boxes. So, I don’t have a photo of the one with 10 lights but I can tell you it is of the same era and exactly in the same condition. The only difference with the 10 light is that it's about 4-6 inches narrower.
Therefore, please appraise the chandelier with the 12 lights.
Thank you
