Condition

Illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. Fine model of quite tall size. Fitted for electricity.The mounts are slightly tarnished. The arms of light were probably originally decorated with original glass flowers which have been removed maybe when the chandelier has been fitted for electricity. Please note that the central stem has been replaced and cut glass elements added. Giltwood fleur de lys in top probably replaced too. Some cut glass elements with chips, others certainly later replacements.
