We just so in love with this one! Simple, yet it has such a great charm! It features a gold shield on each side along with the spanish style scrolling throughout. It's very old and I don't believe it's ever been re-wired because the wires are cloth wrapped. It seems as though through the years somebody has spray-painted it a few times. This pendant would look wonderful in an entryway or up the stairway. The measurement in the listing for the height is with the chain included just the base of the light to the first chain measures about 28 inches tall.
