Antique Glass Chandelier Broken Crystal Arms

Antique Glass Chandelier Broken Crystal Arms

December 30th, 2008 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Chandelier Repair

The movers broke several antique crystal arms on this Chandelier .The Chandelier was very dirty and rusty . The pins through the prisms had gotten wet and rusted. Repairing antique glass arms was the easy part.Cleaning and rewiring was the time consuming  part. I used white cloth covered wire per original . The clear plastic wire is less noticable but I like to keep  as authentic as possible .  Two of the strands of prisms were missing  I got lucky and had old ones in stock. I disassembled ,cleaned the glass and polished  the chrome pieces. When moving antique glass chandeliers they should be taken apart to relocate. We installed the restored chandelier in the dinning room .

    I have a similar (kind of) chandelier. What is the best way to get an idea of what it is worth?

    thanks
