Estimate$8,000 – $12,000
Not wired for electricity; requires candles. Could be wired externally. Drip pans have all their prisms, three each (an earlier version of this condition report mistakenly reported missing prisms), though a few may be replacements; heavy wax residue and areas of dull patina or verdigris patina. Some of the metal elements slightly bent. One of the metal arms that runs vertically has an old repaired break, does not appear to impact the stability. One "frond" moderately bent, but could be adjusted. The blue glass disks are possibly replacements. Needs gentle cleaning. Regarding the silver "coils" which are present on two of the drip pans, their purpose is not known. We think they were added to help the drip pans sit flat and screw closer and tighter to the candle cups. Some of the drip pans are somewhat loose in their fittings and tilt slightly in relation to the candle cups.
Precise weight is not known; based on feel, it weighs approximately 50-75 pounds. For a shipping quote we recommend contacting Navis Pack & Ship.
