For auction is an antique French flying cherub, or angel chandelier.
This is an original antique piece with a crisp detailed casting and not a cheap brass reproduction. It is cast in spelter and gilded, however it may have been touched up with paint in the past, the ceiling rose has been overpainted.
The wiring has been changed and the chandelier is pictured lit, the wiring should be tested and the light installed by a competent person. The bulbs are not included, but are standard bayonet fittings
The fittings are fitted with some gilt metal petals, these can be removed and the light would look lovely with glass petal shades.,
Condition is good, however I have noticed a very fine crack on one arm of the cherub, this is not noticeable when hung and could be touched up with a gold pen or similar if prefered.
Dimensions the cherub is 22cm long from finger tips to toe and approx 15cm at the widest point, the whole thing is currently 40cm from rose to cherubs nose. The wiring is currently quite long, but can be shortened by cutting the wiring
