Antique Questions Forum / GE antique chandelier

I just bought this old house a while back, with this really cool looking hanging light fixture. the fixture hangs down by 3 or 4 chains, off from like an upside-down dome that mounts to the ceiling. it has a 12-14 inch bulb/bowl which hangs down in the center of it, and 4 light bulb holders which hang down outside of that. each of the 4 bulb holders has it's own switch to turn the individual lights off, by what looks like leaf ornament.  I took pictures of it, but haven't downloaded to my computer yet. I'd say this piece is all brass. the original part house that this fixture hung in, was built around 1900, but I'm sure they didn't have electricity until the 20's. I'm maybe asking for too much info here without actually posting a picture. is there any special website where I may be able to find more photos or history of my find? I say this is a GE fixture because the 4 little black switches have GE on them.
