Condition Report

The foliate cast ceiling corona is possibly a replacement, as it is more Rococo in style than the rest of the decoration. Consistent wear running around the entire circumference of the exterior of the upper body of the central shade. There are chips in several places to the upper section of the three external shades, from contact with the screws securing them to their brass housing - one securing screw is a modern replacement. Once scroll arm has been bent inward slightly toward the central shade. The fitting has been previously wired for electricity, however this now requires renewal.
