A Russian gilt-bronze and cut-glass six-light chandelier, possibly Moscow second quarter 19th century

the porcelain bowl a later replacement

The gilding is worn on the corona and scrolls of the corona. The stem supporting the chains which lack gilding are probably later replacements and some of the flowerheads securing the candlearm to the ring internally are lacking their screws. There is some differences in the casting in the candlearms and one has a screw hole. The gilding on the second tier is rubbed. There are some chips and minor breaks to some of the drops. In overall good restored condition.
