Did you forget the pictures?

 

JB, is it this kind of chandelier? More tiers maybe? We will still need to see it.

 

Hi,
I had a wonderful brass Dutch chandelier of 18 candle holders. Paid a man to rip out all of the electrical parts and replaced them with candles. Used to say I had a 10 dollar electric bill but a 35 dollar candle bill.

I have a small one, from my student days. Never liked the electrical ones, so it had to be for candles, but it took some searching to find one.

Most are not converted, but are actually made for electricity. They have been making those electrical ones since the introduction of electricity in the 19th century.

Sorry Thought Photos had been dowloaded....Here they are..Thanks

 

It is nice, but it was made for electricity, not converted. Those 'dripping candles' are a sign, and the screws mean not top quality.

 

Also, no reason for arms to be hollow all the way from candle cup to center unless designed to run wires.

 

You would think that wouldn't you, but the antique ones also had hollow arms all the way, for strength. Only flattened a bit for the decorative curls:


The same chandelier, detail, the same design arms as JB's, but no ugly screws:
