A Louis XV style cut glass and rock crystal-mounted silvered metal sixteen-light chandelier

Impressive. Will require re wiring by a qualified electrician. Some drops missing both glass and rock crystal but these losses are hard to detect with the naked eye. Lower pendant detached and will require re-attaching. Some elements are Mis-shapen and will require straightening, those below the lowest light tier notably. Some acanthus fronds bent on the corona. Silvered metal is dirty in places. A very decorative light fitting.
