Antique Chandelier

Hi all, hoping for some help finding out if this chandelier has any value as an antique. It came with the house we purchased a couple of years ago, and the elderly lady we purchased it from said that the chandelier was her Mother in-laws. We are going to replace it with something more modern, but hoping to learn more about this so I can figure out what to do with it. Help is much appreciated!!

 

nice

 

Welcome, Jermich92! I'm sure several members would love to help, but they'll need pictures.

That's weird, not sure why the pictures I uploaded aren't showing. How about now?

 

The pictures are visible now, but the text of your original post is gone. Could you replicate it?

Would think 60s-70s and either American or Italian. These are popular now so a bit of value. If you check ebay sales, you will find values all over the place. Dealers who specialize in lighting, refurbish, and guarantee do better than your average Joe just selling grandma's chandelier. You probably won't find your exact chandelier but if you compare with similar size and ornateness, you should get an idea of value.

 

Brad nailed it. I have the exact same chandelier that came out of my Great Aunt's home and she purchased it in the late 1960's. There are no markings where it was made.

 

Love the light I have the exact same one hanging in my dining I bought at a yard sale about 10 years ago for $50. With that being said I would never get rid of mine I love it, but dang I need to dust

 

I think it's the same as yours
