A pair of Russian Neoclassical ormolu, white marble, ruby-glass and cut-glass two-light girandoles circa 1800

Minor chips and small losses to the fasceted glass, tarnishing to the ormolu. Significant losses of red pigment in the interior of the glass vase, consistent with age. Minor chips to the marble. Some elements of the ormolu mounts appear to be later replacements. In otherwise good condition.
