I am interested in the history of Italian Tole Chandeliers from 1850
through1970. I am interested in information and pictures (and sources
for pictures) illustrating the information. I have already looked up
everything to be found by GOOGLE under the heading of "Italian Tole
Chandeliers".

The full name of the chandelier I am interested in is Tole Piente.
They date back to the 18th century so lets expand the time frame from 1800 - 1970.
Pictures and sources for pictures are very important.

Yes - The only one even similar is from e.wolf and it is very
atypical. The tole chandeliers from rubylane are more in the ballpark
but there is no history or information.

Are you perhaps asking about Tole Peinte (tin painted) chandeliers, as
pictured here:

Please clarify if these are the type of chandeliers of interest, and
if so, what type of information you are seeking.

Thanks.
