The 12-light chandelier is constructed in finely cast gilt-bronze and richly fitted with cut-crystal elements. It is centred on a foliate-decorated stem rising to an ornate crown, from which faceted crystal drops and pendants are suspended. Scrolling gilt-bronze arms issue from the central stem, each terminating in candle-form light fittings with turned drip pans. The arms are hung with graduated cut-crystal drops, including elongated prisms, faceted pendeloques, and diamond-shaped elements. The lower section is centred by a large faceted crystal drop, enhancing the chandelier's overall brilliance. The gilt-bronze surfaces retain a warm gilded patina, contrasting with the clarity and sparkle of the cut-crystal, and reflecting the refined craftsmanship associated with with the maker.
