This beautiful French nickel and crystal chandelier dates to the late 1940s or early 1950s.
Graceful and airy yet also a striking statement piece, this stunning fixture includes both vertical crystal prisms and dangling prisms with bead detail, plus a large crystal ball hanging from the center.
The fixture holds eight chandelier bulbs and is mounted on a matching nickel rod that was fabricated by the store. It originally hung by a chain so could probably be converted back.
Comes with cream colored paper shades but you can easily have new shades fabricated to fit the original shade frames.
Purchased at Alan Moss Antiques, formerly of 436 Lafayette Street in NYC, in the late 1990s. See attached documentation which includes their assessment of when it was made and the value at that time.

Good vintage condition. One of the crystal prisms had to be repaired when the glue from a repair done by a prior owner failed and one of the tall vertical crystal prism pieces came apart at the top of the base and fell onto the table. Luckily I had a cloth on the table, so it was undamaged. I sent the prism to a chandelier expert who felt that glue had not been successful in holding sick a heavy piece of glass made to stand upright. They were able to do an amazingly skillful repair iwith a small metal rod that extends into both the base and the prism. Now the prism is now extremely secure and the repair is almost impossible to spot without knowing that it is there (see last photo, circled area.)
