Where Vintage Never Gets Old...
Art Deco Chandelier - What is the silery - pewter like metal
I have this great Art Deco 5 arm chandelier which I hope to list soon.
It truly has all the typical Art Deco Design details
- combination of geometrical shapes with inserts of flowers and leaves in brass
- stepped form
-spherical body
and last but not least a combiation of 2 different metals
I know one of the metals is brass
- the other metal has the color of pewter and is hand hammered on the center cone
and machine embossed on the 5 sperical half rings
The lamp is 60"round - including the spread of the arms and is very heavy
Can anyone tell me what the pewter like metal is?
Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, there! I would suggest that it is cast nickel, which was often used with brass in Deco light fixtures.

Thanks MaryI hadn't even thought of nickel but that makes absolute sense.
I think in my description I will say something like "pewter colored, probably cast nickel metal"
That should cover it I think
Darn those typos - edited this post
but see all those I overlooked last night when I was tired
