Gilded bronze chandelier in Louis XVI style, with 5 lights

Vintage chandelier in gilded bronze, louis XV rococo style of the 50s-60s, with 5 lights, stamped rb and numbered. Cylindrical base surmounted by a fluted barrel (see photo), with acanthus leaves along the arms in volutes (see photo) Chain with 7 flat and round rings with a length of 25 cm. Works with 5 standard screw bulbs. Total height of the chandelier from the ceiling lamp = 70 cm. Width = 48/49 cm. Weight = about 4/5 kg. The upper part of the chandelier - smoother and shinier - is the result of a recent cleaning (which can be perfected), while the beautiful patina, with its picketing due to oxidation, has been deliberately preserved on the cylindrical base, as well as on the arms (see photos). Opting for one or the other is a matter of personal choice. The fake candles, original, deserve to be changed (the paint has partly flaked), as well as the electrical wiring that dates from the 60s at best.
