Condition

Overall in very good original condition. All the original elements to the chandelier, including all the glass shades are in tact. With a few very minor edge flecks that are only visible on very close inspection. The original glass diffusing elements that cover the bulbs are also intact. The metal elements with minor surface scratches, nicks and light rubbing. Some minor surface dirt to the recessed portions of the design. Electrically stable. A very nice example of this iconic lighting design.
