    F189B9FC-6D1C-4F12-AFD3-4D58AA5BF0DE.jpeg We found this hanging in the garage of our cabin about 10 years ago. Kept it when we sold it because the realtor when we purchased the place had some story about it being in a movie. That’s all I know of its history. The top and bottom of main piece are a thinner metal than the rest. The sides and bottom decorative pieces appear to be cast. Don’t know the metal but the piece hanging on bottom is solid and very heavy. The main body is about 16” in diameter with 8 bulb sockets. The entire fixture from ceiling mount to bottom is about 39”. There are no markings that I have been able to locate. I thought that I would try here to see if anyone could help identify and perhaps tell me if it has any value. Wife wants it gone.

    Would say circa 1910. Possibly a commercial fixture from a store, bank, or theatre. Don't know about the story of it having been in a movie. Would need to somehow document for this to add value. Has intrinsic value for someone wanting authentic furnishings. Maybe several hundred at best in refurbished working order. Significantly less as-is.

    Thank you for the response. I have tried reaching out to the realtor with no luck. It does look like more of a commercial fixture as you described. Thought maybe a courthouse too. Have you seen others like it?
