Summary
A collection of cut glass chandelier parts belonging to a mid 19th century chandelier made by F. and C. Osler, a pair with DUN/C/75a. There were insufficient pieces of this second chandelier remaining to re-assemble it; as well as this collection of pieces in store, the remaining pieces were used to create the Saloon wall lights. The collection consists of: eighteen drops each consisting of a three-sided spear hanging from a circular bead; a similar drop, wider, also a spear; a broken spear, detached from its circular bead (present) and missing its point; one large, three medium and two small points (no shafts); two drip pans (not identical) and fifteen candle cups.
