This is a small 3 arm chandelier. I have been buying and selling antiques and art semi-professionally for 35 years and this is the best thing I ever came across. It is gilt bronze and it a true jewel encrusted thing. In my opinion, and I could wrong but I believe this is actually period renaissance . But similar things have been attributed to being 19 century Venetian The arms and bulbashers have 27 rubies each and the elbow of the scroll of each arm there is a carved crystal face. Each side of the arm has 9 and the ring around the bulbasher has 9 which makes the 27 which made me think of the numerology thing. I am selling this as an antique not to be used anymore as an fixture, but it actually was wired when I got it. If you have questions or are interested please contact me... I am in upstate New York and can bring it to New York City for examination. The last picture is of a pair of candelabra that was sold by Mallet antiques 8 or 10 years ago... they describe them as Venetian around 1875.. . I allow that I may be wrong and this may be true but I do dispute their conclusion....I always though the one I had was a marriage of sorts with the parts being made at different times... Now the pair sold by Mallet ( who has since closed and I could not find any more info on them) definitely looks like a marriage. If you google Mallet Venetian candelabra you can find a picture you can zoom in on and It certainly looks to me that they made the base to put the arms on and also the drops do not follow with the general feel pf the piece and look like add ons as well..... what does this mean ? I still think the thing is earlier also it has a set of lampholders that can easily be put back making it work as a regular electric fixture
