Description

  • approx 86cm. high, 66cm. diameter; 2ft.10in., 2ft.2in.
with six candlearms

Condition

Gilding worn on the giltwood section and some chips. It would appear that something is missing from above the urn on the lower section as there is one loose drop. The finial appears to be missing but can easily be replaced. The cage some age as does the giltwood pieces, but the drops and drip-pans look of recent manufacture. In otherwise good condition.
