Condition report:
The chandelier is presently hung with the five arms at the lower register. The other three which are larger, and also composed of 6 lights, are beside the chandelier. Two larger arms are missing. There is probably a section missing from the central stem, although two parts are with the lot and the central shaft probably needs rebuilding. The drops need to be tidied and some are loose in a separate bag, which need to be hung.
The overall width is presently 112cm with the five arms.
The central bowl from which the lower register arms issue is 20cm wide.
A larger arm is 66cm wide.
