Art Deco Chandelier, Austria, Wiener Werkstatte, 1910s

Art Deco chandelier made in the 1910s in Austria-Hungary related to the Wiener Werkstätte. A square brass-framed body holds panels of milk glass, and a circular brass ring on four square posts crowns it, joined to a slim stem and a stepped canopy. The geometric, architectural design is typical of the period. It holds three original brass and ceramic sockets for E26 or E27 bulbs. The chandelier has been newly rewired. The lower square glass is a new replacement, and the remaining glass panels are original. The chandelier is in very good condition overall, with a beautiful warm brass patina. It is compatible with US wiring.
