There is, but it is limited...certainly not the entire piece. A few 'highlights' on the font holders and a few places on the main body of the chandelier. The chandelier must have been sitting in an attack or barn since the day electricity was introduced, but it seemed to have a uniform 'gold' coat of paint with black coat underneath that. I don't know if the black was a primer or the original color.

Yeah, I was thinking $200 was about all I wanted to pay for the entire chandelier, if that's what you paid for two faucets and an overflow, I don't see that happening. Ah well, time to learn another skill! I do like that black and gold motif...just liked that bronzed look better.
As always, thank you all so much for your help!
