Baccarat Crystal Eighteen-Arm Chandelier, early 20th century, the silver frame with two tiers of alternating cut glass candle arms, bobeches and prisms, h. 36" (without chain), dia. 33". By family tradition, this chandelier was one of two installed in the residence of the Russian Ambassador to the United States, at 1125 16th Street, Washington, D.C. in 1910. It was later purchased by the family of the consignor in the 1950's when the embassy was undergoing remodeling and redecorating. Mamie Eisenhower purportedly purchased the other one.
