this kinkeldey designer ceiling light/hanging lamp is stylistically inspired by the palace/castle lighting of past centuries, the empire & regency era.

* chandelier with 5 tiers.
* 65 faceted, thick glass prisms measuring 9.5 cm x 6 cm each, very heavy, harder glass, not your average chandelier glass!
* presumably not lead crystal (this would be the case with a lead content of over 24%), as we don't know for sure, hence the specification of crystal glass prisms.
* high light refraction.
* gold-plated brass frame.

dimensions
diameter 52 cm * height 64.5 cm

condition
the chandelier is in excellent, very well-maintained, and fully functional condition, with the usual signs of age, such as minor, superficial scratches on the brass and glass, as well as very few minor, square nicks on the glass (most of which are on the back and almost invisible during everyday use unless you look closely).

\. As already mentioned, all of the previously mentioned marks are only slightly visible upon very close inspection and are not serious\.

+ the lamp has been meticulously cleaned/polished and, of course, tested for functionality.
+ the cable of this lamp is in its original condition and several decades old. Although we have tested it for functionality (full functionality),
we cannot guarantee the lamp's operational safety due to its age and therefore recommend
having the lamp checked for safety by an electrician before use.
