An elegant and highly decorative antique gilt bronze chandelier of exceptional quality, richly adorned with an abundance of cut-glass crystal drops and finely cast detailing throughout.The chandelier features 18 gracefully scrolling arms arranged over two tiers, each supporting candle-style sconces with shaped glass drip pans.
