An impressive French gilt-bronze fifteen light chandelier Paris, late 19th/early 20th century

with three tiers of scrolled branches and including festoons and masks

Superb quality. One of the swags is detached (this is visible in the photo see bearded mask on right side where this swag is absent from the photograph), the vendor has now supplied this to Sotheby's. This section will require re-attaching and one end is damaged where it has come away from the chandelier. The piece will require re-wiring. A dramatic piece.
