This impressive chandelier is in good overall condition. There are the inevitable dents, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. There are some small casting flaws throughout, for example to the arms where there are some very small holes where the casting is very thin. As stated in the cataloguing, fitted for electricity. Structurally sound and ready to hang.
