The chandelier is made of brass and consists of a body, branches, candle sockets, and chains for hanging. The main section of the body is is tiered, with a gadrooned lower half over an undulating apex terminating in an acorn. There is an inscription engraved around the lower half of the body: "ז"נ ר' יצחק שמואל בן ר' ישראל ליכט הכהן עם זוגתו תחי' שנת תרעד לפק' " "This was donated by Rabbi Isaac Samuel, son of Rabbi Israel Licht HaCohen, with his wife, may she live a long life, the year (5)674." From the rim of the body stem eight undulating branches, bearing vase-shaped candle sockets attached to round concave trays. Atop the body there is a vase shaped apex, terminating in a bud. Between every two branches, alternate four rings to which four chains for hanging are connected. The chains are suspended from a convex canopy and are made from four links.
