Italian Liberte Stile/ Art Nouveau gilt-metal chandelier, early 20th c., having scrolled supports with ram masks and drapery swags, terminating at foliate branches with figures playing horns, suspending square frame with bas relief narrative scenes of dancing cherubs atop floral garland, hung with pleated fabric drapery, beaded trim, issuing four curved arms, each fitted with frosted and cut glass shades, (one) figure lacking instrumental horn, in need of wiring, approx 54.5"h, 33"w, 33"d

12.17.25: As described the fixture is in need of wiring, I note that the chandelier is structurally secure, the fabric shade remains taut and is free from observed tearing or holes, I do not observe notable staining beyond some sparse, light staining, and some minor bead losses along the trim, upon observation of the glass shades, I do not observe visible chipping or hairlines/ fractures, the shades having inherent fleabites around the rim from rubbing against the metal mount, but are not visible when securely mounted within the socket, the gilt metal exhibits patination, mellowing, and rubs commensurate with age and use
