It is in the "English" style, adapted from the Jacobean period.

Having the characteristic "melon" shape of the posts.

Many American furniture makers turned to European period designs for
adapting to their lines during the 20's. Usually made in a smaller scale than the originals.

Antique Questions Forum / Bohemian overlay chandelier replacement parts? Moser?

« on: May 07, 2008, 01:04:41 pm »

Hi, I'm new here!

I am seeking a source for a replacement part for a vintage Bohemian cased glass chandelier.  Opaline overlay on cranberry.

It needs to be approx 6" diam x 2.75" deep.  could even be a candy dish bottom that has lost it's lid (I could have drilled.)  There is flexibilty regarding general shape, cut design and enameled floral motifs.

Any help locating a source or someone who might be parting out a damaged chand would be appreciated!!

Also, any help regarding the age of this one, and if it may be Moser would be great.
