A Russian neoclassical style ormolu and ruby glass nine-light chandelier

the center composed of ruby glass elements, the central ormolu ring pierced with scrolling foliate motifs and fitted with leafy candle nozzles, scrolled supports linked by ropes of cut-glass beads.

Slight break to the inverted baluster-shaped ruby glass, which causes it to tilt slightly and would benefit from a small restoration. Very minor splitnters to the glass, however this is hardly noticeable. In otherwise very good condition.
