Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The present example of the model appears to retain all the original elements of the design. The wire used to suspend the decorative elements with some minor crimping. The leaves remain in excellent condition, with a few possible areas of minor restoration to re-affix the leaves to the wire. The domed lower portion of the lamp is fitted with three original sockets and original hardware. Electrically stable. The chandelier when illuminated and installed is a beautiful work of sculpture.
