A vintage Empire style brass and hand-made glass rosette four-light chandelier, French, 20th Century
I looked for marking but couldn't find any. This is apparently brass (very heavy, I scratched the inside of the rosette and it was shiny golden color) with white glass flowers attached to the main body and the satellite globes with a metal wire lattice. One of the satellite globes is missing several of the glass flower pieces. I have attached a photo of the missing pieces. Otherwise, all are intact.
Approx. 36" diameter from globe to globe and 42" high when mounted.
Inherited
Yes
