This is an older work, but I loved doing it. The orginal sold, prints are still available. I enjoyed the red shade/glow it has in the light which is hard to capture in scans and photos. . . . . . . . #octopus #tentacles #seacreatures #oceans #eightarm #underwater #saveoctopus #watercolorpainting #mixmediaart #Freckledillustations #silouette #tinypeople #detailing https://www.instagram.com/p/BudBP4Tgd8u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gw1qkftrgj6g

LATE 19TH CENTURY EIGHT ARM CHANDELIER.

A good and elaborate cast gilt bronze, French Chandelier, eight arms with chiseled and shaped Rococo decoration, retaining very fine and elaborate original cast set of chains, the top with a dish rose chiseled with foliage and flowers. 

In the mid-19th century, as gas lighting caught on, branched ceiling fixtures called gasoliers (a portmanteau of gas and chandelier) were produced, and many candle chandeliers were converted. By the 1890s, with the appearance of electric light, some chandeliers used both gas and electricity. As distribution of electricity widened, and supplies became dependable, electric-only chandeliers became standard
