Message:: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 11558888, member: 3235"]Got this years ago from a friend of a maintenance person who worked at The Cincinnati Art Museum. Story was that in the 1930's 12 of these forged steel chandeliers were custom commissioned for the museums new armor room. This is the 13th one - made as a reserve in case any of the 12 for display were ever damaged. It stands 22" tall, 32" at the widest (4" light platforms), openings in turrets would have had backlit curved glass. Built as electric, but it was never wired. The piece is very heavy and weighs in at about 60 lbs. So far not been able to prove the museum origins, but I did contact them, and was told the claim is plausible and they would look for photographs of the Armor Room . . . have not heard back so far.<img src="https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/614921428_3012470095606245_3507250191845130134_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=aa7b47&_nc_ohc=qezmkj4ESmkQ7kNvwEmPYYN&_nc_oc=AdmE3cTTLR_GCWf5dtX7Evfr_4ICnDkD3XBMyL_OVGSvJqMGM2UZwUCcjZbwl_kvuYmMKGqDGZeuEDc0nYwT8AWR&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&_nc_gid=CQcxV8NElWjJamTT9E_OOQ&oh=00_AfoHJo53UB8kY3k3REzkaH4TfSeX_58VYirRG1uhmuG7lg&oe=696AE948" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
