Overall good, stable condition. Each candelabrum is hung with prisms - a shorter set that are suspend from the bobeches, and a longer set that are hung from the lower drip plates. All prims are present and intact, though a few of the longer prisms have minor chips to their ends. The chips are not immediately noticeable. The overall prsentation is very attractive, with the prisms clear and sparkling, and the gilt bronze with a bright luster.
