AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid antique bronze chandelier, finely worked, featuring elegant floral and foliate motifs in the Liberty style. The structure presents raised decorations with flowers and leaves that give movement and great refinement to the whole. It is composed of four light points with white opaline glass shades in a teardrop shape, which diffuse a warm and uniform light. The sinuous arms and the decorated chain recall the craftsmanship of the early 1900s, while the natural patina of the bronze enhances its authentic charm. Approximate dimensions: 46 cm high x 44 cm in diameter. The chandelier is functional. The electrical installation is original to the period; although it is currently functioning, a check or rewiring to bring it up to current standards is advisable. There is a small chip on only one of the three screw rings for mounting the shades, at the point where the screw under the ceiling plate is inserted. Once the shade is mounted, the chip is practically invisible and does not compromise stability or aesthetics. A piece of great character, ideal for classic, vintage, or elegant rustic interiors, perfect for living rooms, entrances, or dining rooms.
