<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 453505, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Most of them are just jobbed from different sources. If it is a famous name it should be marked somewhere. When I was living in NYC I would go to the lighting district. If I was looking for a brass chandelier I would look in the stores that specialize in the glass ones. If I was looking for a glass one I would look in the brass stores. I would find brass one for 60% less or more in the glass shops. The same for the glass ones in the metal shops.. My best deal was a 5 tier glass chandelier having 21 lights full size glass hurricane shades and enough crystal roping to make Elizabeth the Queen jealous. I paid 400 dollars. The ones in the glass stores were all over 2 thousand. The brass store just wanted it gone and I made it happen. My best brass chandelier had 18 lights. I bought it in a glass store. I asked the owner how much it would cost to have all of the wiring removed he almost had stroke. He says "why would you want to remove the electric. I told him I wanted to burn real candles in it. he said "you crazy, you burn your house down.". He then said I have had lots of people say here is a watering can how to electric it. I never ever had someone say remove the electric. So when he realized I was serious, he said I'll take out the electrical parts and charge you 60 dollars less. So my 600 dollar chandelier cost me 540 dollars. When I moved I sold the glass one for 1700 and the brass one for a 1000.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
