(pair) French bronze girandoles, molded spike finial, above the frame issuing three scrolling arms, hung with clear, golden smoked and amethyst-colored crystal drops, pendalogues and rosettes, scrolling tripod supports on a conforming base, observed operating, approx 25.5"h, 11.5"w, 9.25"d; 24lbs total

CR 3.24.25-In my opinion regarding: LOT 3071: As described the pair was observed operating, I note that both girandole are presently intact and stand sturdy, all elements appearing secure at joinery, the spiked finials sit slightly off-kilter due to the wire attachment being slightly loose, would benefit from being tightened/ re-wrapped, there are a few minute flea bite chips to edges of crystal pendalogues commensurate with use, some of the petals comprising floral elements with a few sparse losses to the petals, some of the petals drooping a bit due to loose wire but remain intact (see images), I do not currently observe hairlines or fractures to the crystal, the metal with mellowing of the patina, as well as patination and light spotting commensurate with age
