Swedish Gustavian Crystal and Gilt Brass Chandelier

Description

An elegant Gustavian crystal and gilt brass Swedish chandelier with two fountain-like tiers of faceted crystals over a central drop to an elaborate brass ring decorated with Egyptian heads and patera from which extend six curved arms repeating the fountain motif of the crest with candle-sockets now wired for electric bulbs, and a hanging tier of vertical prisms with tear drop crystals and a brass wire frame ending in a pineapple finial. Exquisite craftsmanship.
