Please help me estimate cost of this chandelier
This is a chandelier that I am not able to confirm cost of.

I am only looking for some advice on "rough" estimate of this chandelier. This is the only picture I have.

Thanks much in advance for your inputs and suggestions.

Dear Jenn: Welcome to DAforum.

Dear Jenn:

Welcome to DAforum.

I'm really sorry to tell that you are broking an essential rule, that's asking a commercial value, that's clear not not accepted in the Forum,s guide:

GUIDE TO USE THIS FORUM - Please read before posting! Thank you.:

3. Requests to identify objects are welcome as long as the object is
believed to be modern, post-modern or contemporary (no antiques). You may
ask for help identifying an object?s designer, producer, period, style,
material etc. ? but not its commercial value. This forum is not a free
valuation service.

Doesn't mind anyway, you didn't know it, and most people here are very kind.

You broke a rule, but we could create a new rule, perhaps, if you want:

This is not "a free valuation service" but if you are needing advice and ask for the generosity of the members asking for a valuation, May I ask you a small generosity pushing the "donate" button (in the bottom of the page)? You could put $ 0.01/ $1.00/ $10.00 /$100.00/$1000.00. Whatever you consider this valuation value to you.

So I suggest to:

1) Once you say "done it" me or some other member will assist you.
Remember to tell where are you located.
or
2) Delete-edit your mistake.

Thanks in advance.
Gustavo

ps: I'm sure broking an unwritten rule, but your generosity with some cents will be so nice welcome that no one will care about.

Any chance that the chandelier comes with the window treatment??, as they do seem to compliment each other quite well.

just wondering?

I believe
that the window treatment, chandelier and lovely four-piece faux stained glass entrance door were part of the "McMansion Package" circa 1992, were they not?

Just kidding, but not really. To the OP, your chandelier is new-ish, which is why we are taking the pis*. Keep trying, though.

@ Gustavo,
My apologies for the oversight. Should've read the guidelines.

I just did donate a small amount, though.

Hi
Dear Jenn:

Thank you very much, it's really appreciated your kindness and understanding.

English it's not my mother tongue, and I'm working now, though it's not my specific field, give some time to write an answer.

In the meantime, I'm sure that if any other DAer have an appropriate answer, will be a happy to give it, as we'll know appreciate it.

It depends on if you want to buy it/or sell it. And if you can estimate as a retail price, or as an opportunity. As many other conditions.
If you search on ebay, you'll have an idea, can be estimated on 1000-3000.
I would ask no less than 1000-1500 if you want it to sell it.
Or if you want it to buy it (that's probably your situation) wouldn't pay more than 2500-3000.
The gap 1500-2500 is the natural one for retail-no retail prices.
Consider that huge chandeliers as other big artifacts, doesn't fit easily anywhere, any house, and that could be a good point to negotiate.

Finally, or first of all, you can search in the DAradar.(see link) That's the official commercial area of the site, where yes it's possible to see values, as well as buy and/or sell.
Perhaps not just a coincidence, if you go there and search "Chandelier"
you'll find one that's the same as yours.
