à huit lumières, à décor de pendeloques, guirlandes de perles, poires et poignards ; (monté à l'électricité) ; (certains éléments de cristal de roche et verre taillé rapportés)

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout due to age and use. A very few minor losses to the pendants. The electrical fitting has to be revised by a professional before any use.
