Condition

The chandelier looks a little too white on the photograph. As said, it was pierced for electricity (the electrical fitting has been removed since). The giltwood stem with a little wear and very few chips (not distracting). Very few pieces of crystal and glass replaced; all the pieces crystal and glass have been carefully cleaned up. Very nice model, ready to display.
