Summary
A cut glass chandelier, mid 19th century made by Birmingham-based glassmakers F. and C. Osler, with a tier of canopies to the centre suspending prismatic drops and numerous branches at the base supporting lights in two tiers with similar pendant drops (a). Originally one of a pair; there were insufficient pieces of the second chandelier remaining to re-assemble it and so they were used to create the wall lights. The rest are in store (b).
Provenance
Stamford collection; devised to the National Trust by Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford (1896-1976).
