25 light complete Restoration, Bent, broken missing most frame glass and rusted to the core. missing all distributor plates and connectors that I had to fabricate. I won't go into detail how long it took to accumulate and piece all the glass panels. each has it's place and side of frame with special cutting and angles, (A quick hint- more than a year+) From what I understand this fixture was disassembled and piled up on top of for more than 50 years in a basement. no crystal, no bobeches just bare frame and a few side glass panels that were not destroyed. I hand pinned and wired all the crystals and bead work. very time consuming. but I'm very proud and happy with my work and the amount of patience God gave me. A customer came in and decided they wanted to buy it, at that point it was still pretty much a bare frame hanging on my shop ceiling, I explained my vision for it completed and and said yep that's the one I want.
