Fantastic chandelier in museum quality from the time of biedermeier - original around 1820; subsequently electrified. all parts made of massive bronze, fire -gilded. very difficult and massive execution. painted some parts with green enamel paint (the painting partially rubbed; the gold -plated gilding comes to light underneath). in the museum of applied arts in vienna (mak), an original draft for this model can be found under the inventory number ki 8971-1676 - this is the version with 6 lighting low. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, up to 250v (europe/uk standard).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
