HUGE 30" Antique Crystal Candelabra Pr.~120 Dangling Crystals & Prisms~Heisey?NR The first thing you'll notice when you see these two up close is the sheer enormity of these antique elegant candelabra. They measure a full 30" tall and are LOADED with dangling prisms. There are 60 elongated prisms (none missing) dangling from smaller square crystal prisms....120 in all. Each candelabra disassembles by unscrewing the upper armed section and each of the lamps have four candle holders which also are threaded. Each lamp has three bobeches supporting the prisms. I took each totally apart to thoroughly clean all parts and to make sure that the wires were sturdy. Let me tell you, it has been an all day job, as you will see if you win this auction. Each connecting wire appears sturdy but due to the age of this pair, you may want to change out each wire with new ones in case the old wires have weakened over the last century. Set up, EACH candelabra weighs between 25 and 30 lbs. Now, for the issues....as I mentioned, each prism and crystal is accounted for but, oddly, 5 out of the 50 elongated prisms are 3/4" longer than the rest. All others measure 6" in length and all accompanying square crystals measure approx. 1" square. (THIS NOTE IS BEING ADDED AFTER AUCTION STARTED...PLEASE NOTE THAT, IN SORTING THRU BOXES OF OLD GLASSWARE, I HAVE FOUND THE FIVE 6" PRISMS THAT ARE NEEDED TO INSURE THAT ALL PRISMS ARE THE SAME LENGTH. OF COURSE, THEY WILL BE SHIPPED WITH THE CANDLES) Several of the prisms have little nicks, chips and scratches. In addition, on one of the candelabras, there is a chip on the base of one of the small detachable candleholders, but not enough to prevent it from attaching securely to the base. Each of the two candelabras have a chip near where the arms thread on to the base, but again...not severe enough to affect the stability or integrity of the pair. Honestly, because of the locations of the chips, the chips really aren't noticeable unless under fairly close scrutiny or by touch. Each base is in good condition. We believe that this pair is HEISEY, but they are unmarked. They certainly have that elegant flair. In case my pictures are misleading, the crystal is, of course, clear. Rest assured that each lamp will be disassembled and wrapped with utmost care for safe shipping. We will insure for the full amount of the winning bid and delivery confirmation will allow you to track shipment. Due to the weight of this pair, we will ship parcel post thru USPS.
