Condition
The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout. The gilding of the bronze is slightly tarnished as expected. There are some minor small chips to the pendants. The lower ball is probably later. The electrical fitting has to be checked by a professional before any use.
Rare model with some neoclassical details on a Louis XV shape.
