This beautiful, ornate, brass and crystal chandelier was removed from the dining room in my wife's grandparent's house. It was hanging in there at least since they moved in during the mid-1940's. I believe that it is pressed-brass because...well, that's what ChatGPT told me when I uploaded the pictures to find out what kind of metal it is. It could very well be bronze maybe (not sure about that).
I apologize if my terminology is not always correct as I'm not an expert in antiques or lighting. Just trying to find this beautiful piece a new home.
The chandelier was removed because at one point LED bulbs were used and apparently that caused an issue on some of the "candlesticks" and a couple of candlestick plastic covers started burning. damage seems to be contained to just the candlestick areas and slightly on a couple of the crystal cups. The pictures show it all. I can't speak for the wiring inside obviously though. That's not my area of expertise. I do know though that some point in the past it was taken down, rewired and polished/cleaned.
The chandelier is very ornate and has a total of 10 arms. It has a detailed grape bunch finial, crystal cups adorned with suspended large and small crystals and unique brass designs connecting the space between each arm. The canopy also has a nice design and is most certainly not plain. I cannot seem to find any manufacturer name but I also may not know where to look and where it might be hiding. There seems to be a " long leafy" motif throughout the piece.
The chandelier is just about 36" tall and extends 27" wide from the far end of one crystal cup to the opposite one, all around.
I'm not sure what else is important to include so please feel free to be in touch with any questions and I'd be happy to answer to the best of my ability. If it seems important I will update the description here as well.

The piece actually was still working before we took it down. However, some bulbs did cause it to catch fire and as such I am unaware of the current status of the wiring inside some of the arms. Therefore I am being cautious and listing it as "not working" just to be safe.
