AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A magnificent and highly decorative late 19th-century French/Belgian majolica and cast brass "Lyre" style chandelier, originally a kerosene lamp and later professionally converted to electricity.

The heavy cast brass frame features exquisite Rococo-style scrolling elements, intricate chains, and stylized dragon/lyre motifs. The lower body is beautifully adorned with a patterned majolica (ceramic) font. It is crowned with its original large opaline glass shade in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. A true statement piece for high-end classic dining rooms or salons.

Condition: Good antique condition with beautiful natural aged patina on the brass. Opaline shade is fully intact. In fully functional working order. Due to the combined weight and fragile nature of the large glass shade, this lot is available for local pickup only. Formally part of a private family inheritance.
