Arts and Crafts Hand Hammered Brass Three Light Chandelier with Canopies - An American Arts and Crafts style three light chandelier featuring hand hammered brass components and forged structural elements. The fixture comprises a central circular ring supported by three curved arms meeting at a twisted ring finial. The circular ring is decorated with three punched star motifs and features a scalloped, crimped outer edge. Three flower form candle cups with punched quatrefoil details are mounted atop the ring, each containing a standard screw base light socket. The lot includes two separate hammered brass ceiling canopies of different sizes, both featuring similar scalloped and notched edges. The smaller canopy has a plain cylindrical neck, while the larger canopy features a decorative arching framework topped with a matching twisted ring finial. The reverse of the canopy reveals three slotted head metal screws. No maker marks are present on the metalwork. Diameter: 11 inches Fixture height: 13 inches Small canopy base diameter: 4.5 inches Large canopy base diameter: 8.75 inches. The fixture is presented in three separate sections as seen in photo 1. The original cloth covered wiring is frayed, cut, and brittle throughout, requiring complete professional replacement (photo 10). Significant aged patina and oxidation are visible across all brass surfaces, including darkening and spotting on the hammered areas (photo 2). The interior of the light sockets shows signs of corrosion and age (photo 8). Surface rust is present on the fastening screws on the underside of the canopy (photo 15). The structural ring shows minor warping in several sections (photo 16).
