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.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
