A large cut glass and gilt bronze mounted chandelier in Baltic Neoclassical style

with eight lights on scrolling branches issuing from a blue glass mounted corona, ornamented with anthemion, surmounted by conforming corona on four reeded blue glass column supports, the whole elaborately hung with drops and lustres

In overall very good condition. This will need rewiring. It is most attractive and decorative. The single candlenozzle in the centre is of a different colour gilt to the rest. There is a black patinatation in places on the gilt-bronze some of which is visible in the catalogue photograph. There are some very minor breaks in the pierced sections of the drip-pans but these are hardly noticeable and can easily be resoldered or left.
