The brass frame work is in good antique condition with age related patina and marks it has been cleaned but not polished so you can decide on finish. The crystal beads are in good condition bright and clear with no visible chips or cracks some of the prisms may have some small nibbles but nothing that detracts from their beauty. The candle drips are the original and have age related wear with some crumbling and discolouration. 

We do take a lot of time and care when wrapping our chandeliers however some of the strings may become dethatched in transit but it is simply a case of hooking the strings back together.
