Magnificent chandelier with goat heads on all 4 sides. Arms and perimeter are complemented by old straws in glass beads and ruby red. Extraordinary example of 'era that demonstrates the art and dedication that artisans put into their productions.
I've always been attracted to this kind of lighting and I hope to share my passion with anyone who will please.
Thank you

Usually the makers and the British and French all called them Rams heads, I don't think people would be attracted to a goat head variety. Phil.

to each one ... its interpretation.
Thanks anyway for your concern.

Hi to me the goats heads have human faces with big nose and beard.
Maybe I'm perceiving it wrong, but as with Marty, I'm seeing a devil.
Season's Greetings to you and Yours, Hornet.
