Featured French cast iron chandelier advice

The one I saw on eBay had same fittings and is 1950's...the price tag is £1,100

 

Looks like a wrought iron chandelier with some cast accent pieces attached to it.
I found one in a similar style but this one was made in early 2000's

 

Not sure but I think it's too heavy to be wrought iron, it ways a tonne. also I have seen wiring like this on table lamps that fits with the 1950,s era.

 

Maybe need to take it to a specialist as this is way out of my knowledge. Lol.

 

I appreciate all your advice.

 

True, your chandelier's metal looks very thick. Almost like it was metal worked - but not cast. That would be a nightmare for the pattern maker to build a pattern to cast that in foundry. I would say made out of steel bar stock.

 

Well hauling that dude around is gonna be one heck of a workout!!

 

We don't consider 1950s very old around here. Could indeed be that old or newer. As such, the value is for its use. Doesn't really have any collectible/antique value. Can be compared to other similar fixtures from the same era. I would take the asking price of the one you found with a grain of salt. You really need to compare it to ones that have actually sold.

This similar larger one sold for $300.00



This similar 6 light sold on ebay for 140 GBP. I don't think it is nearly as old as they say it is......
