Description
The first thing you notice with this chandelier is the weight, this great old light is made from heavy cast and very detailed brass that has a hand-finished and sealed surface. This is a three-arm chandelier fitted with three original Christopher Wray Pate De Verre glass shades. The detail of the brass is crisp and true to the feel and design of an original Victorian version.
Looking at the Brass arms we can see Acanthus leaf detailing, ornate decals and borders along with faux gas taps, the arms are full of details with finials and well balance moulded sections.
The upright of the chandelier is full of detail with heavily detailed hanging eyes and covers, although the light is full of detail it is not overdone and the light does balance well and has a look that just feels right. This is a quality piece of lighting that is very well made and full of antique charm when hung it will act as an eye-catching centrepiece to any antique themed interior with the decorations and balance of the design sitting together beautifully.
The Pate de Verre glass lampshades feel of top quality, these shades have a shape and pattern that is very common on older Christopher Wray lights, they are bell-shaped with
a frilled edge, the glass is mottled with a predominantly a deep orange colour with dark purple frills.
In use, the light provides a classic lighting effect with the shades providing a diffused light and shadowing from the frilled rims, the arms of the light also provide a reflective effect with the profiles of the arms giving the light a crisp and interesting appearance.
I have carefully restored this stylish 1970's chandelier to it's former glory, fitted the piece with new components and fully rewired the chandelier making it compliant with EU/UK/UL safety standards, requires three E14 SES Light Bulbs 40W Equivalent, 5W Candle Bulb, for my clients in the United States and Canada the the electrolier will be supplied with E12 lamp holders.
Dimensions:
Drop 70cm
Width - shade to shade 65cm.
Condition report:
Rewired to current UK/EU/UL legislation, complete with three Pate de Verre glass shades if I was being hypercritical one shade seems to be a slightly less intense orange. This is to be expected due to the nature of these hand crafted shades some colour variation is to be expected.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return

In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
