Condition

The illustration is accurate despite it being more beautiful in reality. Good overall condition despite a few missing pendants. As visible on the illustration, the bowl is missing at the bottom of the stem. A few chips to the gilding of the stem revealing white gesso underneath. The electrical fitting has been partly removed because it was too old. Very nice and decorative model.
