Condition

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout. The gilding of the bronze is slightky tarnished as expected. There are some very minor chips to the pendants. The electrical fitting has to be checked by a professional before any use. Very nice model. Rare to find such a big chandelier from the Louis XV period.
