Each arm features 10 hanging cut crystal prisms with small cut gems and ornate candle stick tops.

Piece measures 17''H x 17"'W x 5''D with a 6"W' x 4"D marble base.

In antique condition with signs of use and age. The brass shows patina throughout, candle holders have some light residual wax, marble base has small dings and marks. Three out of the ten prisms on the left and right arms have small chips in them. It looks like the original owner replaced all ten from the center arm because they are a slightly different style but this piece has been on display in my home for a year and I never noticed until now. Despite having been replaced the 10 center arm prisms are all chipped to varying degrees because the middle arm clanks against the base. I moved the 4 most noticeable ones to the back, but the piece is so reflective and ornate you really don't notice unless you're looking for it.

Replacement prisms are available to order from different places online. less
