I have a great affection for crystal chandeliers from the 1930s and 1940s. So, when I came across this chandelier, which appeared circa-1940, I had to have it. Yes, it was not much to look at, but I suspected the chandelier had…potential.

To begin the restoration I took the chandelier apart. And, to my great excitement, an identification plate was revealed! Oh! 1934! The Gross Chandelier Company! Oh! OH! Wanna see the after image? Scroll way down…

Golly!

I particularly love the glass cups which the candles sit in. This is a unique detail. And I do love the unique detail.
