Wow! This is one of the nicest chandeliers I've ever had for sale!

Completely covered in acanthus leaf decoration, and entirely made of solid brass construction that has been gilded ie similar to gold-plating but much thicker and lasts a LOT longer. This is an antique chandelier from Sweden. The elderly Swedish gentleman that I bought it from told me he brought it over from Sweden himself, and before that it had hung in his family's home back in Sweden. The construction is the best! Solid and heavy!

I am no expert in wiring or restorations of antique lighting, and I am selling this item AS-IS with no returns. However, I must say everything looks to be in superlative condition, with no frayed or damaged wires that I can see. Also, the metal looks superb with it's antique patina intact. However, there is dirt and residue present, but I am leaving it up to the new owner to decide how much to clean it. Also, there is one light socket cover missing, as shown in my photos, but this is easily replaced at any antique lighting supply store, or you could even make one yourself as it's only a cardboard tube with applied silk cord wrapped around it.

Measures 22" tall by 21" in diameter, eight light sockets. Really a treasure, and priced to sell, so don't hesitate! Look online elsewhere to find out what these antique fixtures of quality go for at any high-end store!
