Condition report:
Missing a drip pan from the underside of the star-shaped light well; there is a suspension loop.
The ratchet mechanism is jammed and currently it is not possible to adjust. The gilt finish is tarnished. Some engraved/incised decoration to the upright and hook. The ratchet could be associated, given the slight difference in metal.
The brass lamp with some areas of tarnishing. Later added in fittings to accommodate electrical wiring.
