Description
This is a beautiful, unique vintage chandelier constructed of delicate art glass bubble tiles in a soldered frame. Age of the chandelier is unknown, but I purchased many years ago at an antique store. Unfortunately I no longer have the room to make use of such a piece and I'm hoping someone else can enjoy it.A few details:
- The chandelier is made up of a series of glass tiles. The fronts include a bubble and the back is flat. The color is teal with some gold color and smaller bubbles with them.
- Two of the bubble tiles have fallen out of the frame, but I have them. They are intact, with a minor chip on the corners of one.
- One of the tiles unfortunately broke a long time ago. I never looked to replace it, but imagine you would be able to have a replacement made Had a glass blowing studio or similar place.
- I'm unsure what metal the frame is made of, but it appears to be soldered together with perhaps a light gold / brass paint on top when the exterior. Please take a look at the pictures to see what I mean. The interior of the chandelier, which I have bubble wrap in for many of the photographs, shows the more silver color of the soldered metal.
- The frame is unstable in a couple places, which is what led to the tiles falling out. I imagine it will need a minor repair to reinforce the holes in those two places. Please see the picture for details.
- The chandelier is currently wired to be wired directly into the ceiling but does not include the pieces needed to install it in your ceiling.
Due to the nature of the chandelier, I am selling it as is. I have taken a number of photos that aim to show both this piece is beauty and it's many imperfections. I undoubtedly will have missed something, but I've done my best to accurately describe it here. If you see anything you have questions about, please do ask me ahead of purchasing!
