Antique hanging lamp. These are the one that often had a sprayed on brass finish. This one has the finish worn off.  You might be able to polish the base metal and it should turn out pewter or silver in color. The lamp drops about 18" from ceiling, with the existing chain,  to lowest part of lamp. 12" from the chandelier bulb holder  to bulb holder.  Nice size.   Please check with your  electrician about local codes but I would assume you will need to do a rewire on this lamp. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Please consider the pictures as part of the description and don't hesitate to ask questions!
