Bronze, Crystal and Rock Crystal Chandelier

Chandelier is not in working order. The sockets are corroded with rust and possibly need to be replaced. It is lacking a few glass prisms, not rock crystals. The arms and metalwork exhibit some oxidation and rust spots. One of the plastic candle socket covers has some losses and another is a whiter replacement. Ball finial wire has been repaired and a few of the natural rock crystal fissures have opened slightly.
