Description
- marble gilt-bronze bronze
- 71cm. high; 2ft. 4in.
the white marble socles hung with beaded chains
Condition
In good overall condition. The gilt-bronze and marble is slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. The marble has some very minor chips which are hardly noticeable. All the pins are missing which secures the beading on one candelabrum and on the other one-one pin but can easily be repinned. The central section on one needs resoldering as it is a little crooked. Good quality casting.
