Chandelier (6) - Brass, Glass

Condition
The two pendant lamps are in an original, used state with normal signs of use and aging. The metal shows a natural patina and light oxidation, appropriate for their age. The glass shades are original, made of matte-satin glass with etched decorations. No visible major breaks or missing ornaments. The electrical wiring and fittings are old and should be checked or renewed before use according to current safety standards.

Age
Likely manufactured between 1910 and 1935. The design combines features of late Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) and the early Art Deco period, visible in both the organic ornamentation and the geometric glass decorations.

Material
Cast metal (likely spelter/zamak with a bronze-colored finish)
Matte-satin and etched glass
Metal suspension chains

Origin
Probably Western Europe, likely Belgium, France, or the Netherlands. The combination of cast decorative elements and etched glass is typical for decorative lighting produced in these regions between the wars.
