The piece is slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean. Some minor chips and replacements and one pear shaped drop is off and needs to be re-attached. Some drops have been replaced. There is a chip to one of the prisms on the top. The small globular finial has been chipped off and on the other it is missing. There are no candlenozzles now and these will need to be replaced as the electric fixing has been removed. In otherwise good condition.
