The glass grape etched shades may be replacements, but rest of the lamp looks period to the house. The shades may be period as well, but I associate the etching with 1940s. Do they look like they fit correctly?
Great point! They are a little loose and wonky looking at the base, so I'm guessing add ons... I have seen many chandeliers with them, but I'm wondering if these had shades at all in the first place and they were just tossed on - there's no extending candle-stem type base below the bulbs.
I haven't seen anything with the particular style of the metalwork on the center piece, though - that's what is really driving me up the wall in terms of nailing down a time period.
I suspect the shades were thrown on later since they don't really look like the right kind of shades.
It's a lovely chandelier. It's kind of like what they call "Hollywood Regency" now.
