Paire d'appliques en bronze doré, laiton doré et cristal, travail balte de la fin du XVIIIe / début du XIXe siècle

à trois bras de lumière, le fut orné de cinq rangs de guirlandes de cristal 

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. As visible on the illustration, some pendants are missing but they could be easily replaced. There are two colours on the pendants, some are transparent and some are pale lilac. The contrast is very subtle and very nice. The gilding is tarnished and they would benefit from a cleaning.
