[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 137402, member: 118"]My first thought was a Japanese motif because of the cranes and the blossoms. But nothing else in the design of the piece looks Asian. It's true that Japanese worked mixed metal but mostly bronze and silver. Not sure if brass and pewter could be typical Japanese. I also thought this could have been an oil lamp or oil lamps parts, modified into an electrical lamp and then re-modified into candelabrum. PS Forgot to tell why it was electrical lamp at one time - there are still pieces of cord in some of the tubes.[/QUOTE]
