About this object

The chandelier has six electrified candle lights. The branches and leaves are crudely silvered but have natural looking spiral vines at the core. There are faceted prisms which look like rock crystal. The tear drop pendants are clear with a clear ball center drop pendant. There is a silvered fluted wrought iron dome with small suspended prisms at the top, and some cut glass flowers overall.
