Condition
Assez bon état général.
Quelques traces de peinture sur le cache-bélière. Le quatrième cylindre cannelé et le dernier en partant du haut sont cassés tout autour de leur partie supérieure mais ces manques sont presques indécellables une fois le lustre suspendu. L'avant dernier légèrement meulé sur 2 cm sur une des cannelures. Quelques traces de peinture sur certains autres de ces cylindres. Deux ailettes présentent d'infimes petits éclats à leurs arêtes. La structure en fer chromé piquée sur l'ensemble de la surface, l'ensemble d'usage.

Fairly good overall condition.
A few traces of painting on the cache-bélière. The forth cylinder and the last one from the top are broken on their upper part, the eighth one has been restored on 2 cm but not visible when the chandelier is set up. Slights drops of paint on a few other cylinders. Two of the engraved designs glass "wings" have minor chips to the edges. The chromed metal presents pittings all over the surface, consistent with normal age and use.
