The arms are fastened to the central punched tin cone with hand forged rivets. There is a modern rivet that was added for strength at some point in its history. The chandelier is a great smaller size being 21 1/2 inches wide with a 21 1/2 inch hanging height. The one added rivet is the only thing done to this lighting piece. There are no other damage or repairs. Circa 18th. century, American. Untouched tin natural surface.(BTLHDE)

When one looks at this etched and inked (scrimshaw) ostrich egg, you not only see an extensive amount of work but you also see a story. At the very top is a beautifully designed and etched vintage vector nautical compass. Just below the nautical compass is a banner with hearts and birds. Below the banner, there are four etchings of woman looking forlorn and either writing a note or carrying a note. Note the victorian dress. At the base are the ships, whales and men who perhaps are connected in some way to the women. This is all hand done and beautifully illustrated. As a note the egg itself is very strong and in great condition. The decorated egg comes with stand. Approximately 7" high.(BLDETE)
