A William IV ormolu and cut-glass eight-light chandelier circa 1830

the tulip-vase form cut-glass corona above a leaf-form canopy hung with drops and prisms above a tier with four foliate molded arms hung with long glass stems with drops and prisms, and above a tier hung with cascading drops, the main tier with a pierced ormolu corona hung with drops above a frieze issuing forth eight foliate molded candle arms with leaf-cut drip pans hung with drops and prisms surmounted by foliate cut nozzles and bobèches, the whole above four concentric circular tiers hung with drops and prisms.

Overall good condition; the ormolu fittings above the candle arms and supporting the drip pans pierced for electricity; some glass prisms or drops replaced/or associated; the top ormolu corona appears to be lacking four elements which screw into the ring adjacent to the foliate-molded arms.
