Key Features
Sold as a matching pair; heavy ornate cast metal; desirable Hollywood Regency/Grandmillennial aesthetic; faceted crystal accent adds elegance.
Authenticity Indicators
Weight and casting detail suggest mid-century manufacture; lack of modern safety labeling on cords suggests age; confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy tarnishing and pitting on the metal; missing harps and shades; original cord may require rewiring for safety; dust/grime in detailed crevices.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Etsy (due to vintage demand). eBay is possible but shipping weight and risk of crystal breaking make local sales or curated vintage platforms better.
Selling Tips
Clean with a soft brush to remove dust but do not use harsh chemicals that might strip the plating. Use keywords like 'Rococo', 'Baroque', 'Hollywood Regency', and 'Mid Century'. Photograph with shades (if available) to show potential.
