Antique French Louis XVI Crystal Sack of Pearls Chandelier

About the Item

Antique French Louis XVI crystal sack of pearls chandelier is a timeless ode to the revival of the styles founded by the ancient Greeks and Romans thousands of years ago! Utilizing brass and crystal, the artisans created the graceful teardrop form with two bejeweled hoops defining the crown and the main body. The main body separates the suspended crystal strands coming from the crown above from the "sack" created by the separate crystal strands that converge into a rosette with pendant finial in bronze at the base. Lit entirely from the interior, it is perfect for adding the ambiance and allure of antique lighting to your favorite space, circa early to mid-1900s Fixture measures 19 height x 13 in diameter; 31 height including chain and canopy.

The bronze crown was cast with incredible detail and features a pair of floral swags embracing the topmost strands of the crystals, smallest in size at the top and graduating to larger sizes before reaching the main body of the fixture below. The body consists of an unusual interpretation of the Greek coin form, using laurel swags to define the piercings in the hoop, with decorative acanthus crests with olive branches alternating with the three classically-inspired sconces each with a pair of bobeches and mounts on scrolled arms emanating from the bronze corbel...
