Description from the seller

This splendid chandelier, crafted by the prestigious F.B.A.I. (Fabbrica Bronzi Artistici Italia), is an authentic masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship.

Features and Style

The chandelier, made of gilded brass and hand-painted porcelain, is a magnificent example of Rococo style.
