Welcome to our online listing. Please take a few minutes to read through the whole description and study all the photos. The chandelier has been professionally restored and rewired to the highest standards. Any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Genuine English large Gilded Brass & Crystal Birdcage Chandelier dating from around 1900-1910. Very large and heavy.

This chandelier is dressed with approximately 160 original large hand-cut antique crystals with high lead content (34-38%, typical of this period, as opposed to 15-24% modern crystals), which give you such a beautiful and dazzling array of coloured reflections. It has 10 large and 10 small arms each with one bulb providing 20 bulbs in total.

This chandelier has been professionally rewired and restored to the highest standard using only the best components, ready for immediate installation. The frame is solid and has a lovely patina which would fit in nicely in both period and modern homes; it has been sympathetically cleaned and restored without losing the patina.

Salvaged antique chandeliers rarely come with their original hanging chain and ceiling rose intact.

The chain and the ceiling rose compliment the chandelier beautifully.

Hodgson Antiques (www.hodgsonantiques.co.uk) has been in the antique trade and dealing independently since 2012. Based in Derbyshire countryside operating solely online, we specialise in antique and vintage lighting, table lamps, ceiling lights, chandeliers, wall lights and lanterns together with some selectively sourced decorative items. We source items from around the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.

All our antique lights are fully overhauled, professionally cleaned, rewired and PAT tested to UK standards ready for installation. They are supplied with period-style matching aged fixing brass screws, fittings.
