When the Norwegians became independent from Sweden in the early 20th century, there was a burst of pent up Norwegian nationalism--call Norwegian revival or Viking revival-but this ship chandelier was a product of this period--you do not have to be a descendant of Lief Erickson to appreciate this marvelous work of art--made of sheets of brass with raised designs-great fierce figurehead--cut colored faceted glass port holes that come alive when lighted-even the Viking ships planked sides are there-rewired-no condition problems--some oxidation to brass from flying through the salty skies of Puerto Rico--easily removed-35 inches in length-53 inch drop-12 inches deep--decorative and historically interesting object
