Description from the seller

Good morning friends... here is an example of a chandelier that comes from the past, dating it to the 1940s/50s, with 8 lights. It seems to show no damage or injuries... as in the photo; only two little flowers have lost their attachment to the arm, so they are tied in a slightly different way, a small thing hardly noticeable... many years have passed, but everything holds up, including the electrical system as shown in the photo... of course only lovers of art and beauty can appreciate this jewel handcrafted by ceramic masters known worldwide... the chandelier will be dismantled; the mounting techniques are simple, but since these are handmade works, reassembling them requires finding the right way and the right place to give balance and stability... I cut and trim the work, the craftsmanship, the design—everything is present. Do not seek perfection; the manual work is imperfect and laborious. The results are not perfect but embody beauty, history, tradition and mastery, a contemplation of an art that is slowly disappearing to make room for stamped industrial products... best wishes, friend
