h. 71", dia. 56"

In as found condition. It appears that all of the decorative elements are present, however, the upper scrolls are bent out of shape. It is likely missing some prisms and crystal strands. The arm tops on six of the upper arms are fitted with shade holders, however, the sockets are gone and the wiring is cut. The candle sleeves are discolored and some lacking. The wiring is questionable. It is currently crated. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to issue an opinion
