[QUOTE="AntiqueAnimals, post: 2256693, member: 11833"]My husband came home with a box containing the loose parts of what appears to be a pewter (I do not know this for sure, very soft, dark silver + sorta brassy, magnet doesn’t stick) dragon chandelier. I love lighting parts and think this is the coolest thing ever, but I can’t figure out how it goes together! Here are the parts. There appears to be the remains of wiring inside the “candle” holders (could be anything really but there were other wiring components in the box, just a few broken caps). The candle arms have small dragon heads at the tips. I think I see how it goes in the ceiling, attaches the large octogon to the square (only photo’d 3 of the rods connecting the 2 but I found the 4th one since then), and I see where the face accents likely go...then I am lost. How do the dragons and candle arms attach? Could it be another metal? Any guesses as to value? Maker? Time period? Big thanks to any lighting lovers out there! Or, just the normal people who always answer me with crazy knowledge in here!!
