A large Louis XV style gilt-bronze twelve light chandelier French, circa 1890, in the manner of jacques caffiéri

Overall in good condition. Original gilding. Electrified. The chadelier would have had cut-glass drops to all acanthus cast branches and drip pans. These are now lacking and the holes are visible. The chandelier is made of several gilt-bronze parts mounted to the main frame with screws. Some screws will need to be tightened back and there are three screws available in a bag.
