Additional Notes & Condition Report
appears to be in generally good condition, including the glass element; there is at least one break (and possible loss) to a part of the beaded strand; there are numerous piercings/holes to each of the two graduated wire rings and there are currently no glass beads or prisms hung from these holes, which suggests there are likely numerous prisms now lacking; this is a two-light hall light; one of the upright candle sleeves is currently detached from the socket area; there are some bends to the upright oriented wires that join to each of the wire rings at one end and the flat metal bands that are mounted onto the glass at the other end; the lower brass cap may or may not be original to this fixture
