Lot 148

Generally in very good condition consistent with age, handling, and probable previous restoration.

There are two apparent repaired breaks or fractures towards the inner end of one of the upper branches; these appear to be stable but at close viewing an unfilled fracture remains visible to one of the breaks. Some or the removable nozzles do not fit well into the lights (although this might be addressed by rearranging the placement of the nozzles. There are some variations in the gilding, apparently a combination of natural handling wear and selective regilding.
