Antique Cast Iron 5-Light Chandelier Frame – Needs Rewiring (AS IS)

Description :
This antique cast iron chandelier frame features five socket arms arranged in a radial floral motif, each surrounded by ornate openwork scroll and petal details. With a substantial chain and ceiling canopy included, this fixture measures approximately 15 ½" in diameter and 12 ½" tall without the chain. Though the structure remains solid, the wiring is non-functional and will require full replacement to be safely operable. The surface retains a rich, naturally aged patina with signs of rust and wear that highlight its age and character—perfect for restoration projects or theatrical set design.
