A Louis Philippe ormolu and patinated-bronze fifteen-light chandelier circa 1840

with a stylised anthemion corona above a tapering dish flanked by five scrolls issuing chains supporting a central dish mouted by an urn and surrouned by fifteen folliate and mask-cast candlearms, the underside with an acanthus ring centered by a stylised leaf-cast pinecone finial. Wired for electricity.

General surface dirt. Oxidation, verdigris and tarnish marks to the ormolu generally and would benefit from a light cleaning according to taste. With old minor marks and dents consistent with age. In otherwise good condition.
