Very rare pair of antique Italian "Vatican" chandeliers. The antique hand wrought brass and wrought iron frame is mounted by original lead weighted candle sconces. The hand cut antique glass crystals appear to be the original and are all of the period, first 1/4 of the 19th century or earlier. The grand scale of these chandeliers is indicative of a high ceiling house of the nobility. The crown is fitted with shaped and embossed brass "feathers" . It is extremely rare to find such a marvellous original pair of Empire period chandeliers. Priced as a pair not per each, excellent value!
