Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Very nice chandelier in good overall condition. There are the inevitable minor dents, chips, marks and surface scratches due to age and use. Some crystal pendants have been replaced. The crystal nozzles and bassins are probably later. Refreshments to the gilding. One gilt-metal element leaf needs to be refixed. Carefully illuminated but please note that we do not guarantee that the electrical system is in working order, it has to be checked by a professional electrician.
