Bigwull, your probably right. Still looking up that chandelier. Think it's pretty pricey!

Hello Mart,

well I don't know when was it first wired as we bought the mansion 7 years ago and the chandelier was with it already wired.

How old is your house?

Your furniture pieces are not baroque, but rococo or renaissance revival, mid 19th century.

Hello,

well the furnitures were not in the house, we bought them, only the chandeliers are belonged to it. By the way, the chandelier is made by wrought iron.

About the house:
It was built in 1753, the current design was finished in 1820.

Here are some pictures about it:

I'm guessing from the member's name (Hans) that the estate is in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

The chandelier may not have been wired for electricity until the mid 20th century. Was it candles before that? If so, it could date to the early 19th century or even the 18th, it's hard to tell from the photos.

I really think that all of the Antique-Shop Forum Regulars need to go for a "hands-on" inspection of all items to help this poor individual out!  :/   After all, it is the least we could do!   LOLOL

My mouth has dropped open!  Thank you for sharing all the pics...it has helped me go on a mental holiday!!!! (Hush Wullie....I know you will say I am always on a mental holiday!)
