Condition report:
There is no ceiling rose fitment: all three chains end with one of the rings. See image.
The inside of the bowl shows dirt and dust, and one of the amber coloured glass chunks has been resecured at some point. Some inevitable tarnishing to the pressed copper colour. Gathering of dirt to the recesses and the odd small / minor crack in places to the mother of pearl, together with various blemishes.
