A gilt-bronze blue and amethyst cut-glass sixteen light chandelier in Baltic late 18th century style

The piece is rather dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There are drill holes in the the ring where the piece was previously rewired for electricity. Some drops have probably been replaced. The dish above the vase on the stem is loose and will need to be secured. The third tier down in blue glass is cracked and will need restoring. There is the odd drop missing and can easily be replaced. Several flowerheads on the second and fourth tier of the centre are missing. An attractive and decorative lot. In overall good condition.
