Housing 4 lights, sitting on metal posts that slide into a small pocket on chandelier. This chandelier was made for candles, but we will rewire with certified UL US sockets for the USA and appropriate sockets for all other countries and ready to hang at our expense. Three tiers with beaded appendages springing out. This amazing chandelier has each rare oval shaped prism hand tied to each other. I cannot express how rare and what great condition this very old chandelier is in. Not missing a thing. Free priority UPS shipping from Italy, (approx. 5 days) no custom fees. Adding 9" of original chain and canopy.
