Condition
The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. The gilding is slightly tarnished. Some pendants are loose and need refixing. A very few are probably missing It has been drilled for electricity. As stated in the catalogue description, the height has probably been reduced. The hanging chains were probably longer. If necessary, it is easy to reproduce some elements of the chains to make them longer. The electrical fitting should be okay but we do not guaranty the working order and it should be checked by a professional before any use. Very nice and rare model with a nice gilding.
