Overall with scattered losses and abrasions. Scattered losses of lithographic transfer (largest is approximately 3 in.), concentrated to central orbs but also presenting as smaller losses on several of the eight candlestick light supports. Some small elements of lithographic transfer loss retained for potential future restoration, if desired. Largest central orb with scattered areas where lithographic transfer is lifting, would benefit from professional care. Brass arms are slightly loose but stable. One brass arm with a small fracture (less than 1 in.), in stable condition.

Please note that while the chandelier appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
