Antique Glass Chandelier Broken Crystal Arms
December 30th, 2008 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Chandelier RepairThe 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 .
Antique Glass Repair ; Iused old prisms were I could but I made a new drip prism for the very bottom of the chadelier . Customer didn’t know it was missing .

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