Pair of English Cut and Frosted Glass Six-Light Chandeliers, third quarter 19th century, the standards clad with frosted vasiform elements with cut ribs and leaf-molded ends, the lower frosted pans cut with alternating fluting, ending in faceted ball finials, hung with spear-point prisms and set with a full set of rare "Russian" pattern period gas shades, h. 50", dia. 33-1/2".

Some prisms are chipped along their edges. One fixture is fully fitted with prisms while the other is lacking 10-12 prisms; it also has many mismatched prisms hanging from the bobeches. These were most likely originally outfitted for gas; however, the gas keys were probably removed just below the current electric socket when the conversion was done. Also note that the bobeches on the arms were put on upside down. They date to 1860-1880.
