Large and remarkable, phoenix arms, five-light chandelier with unique, stylish and multi-colored alabaster shades. This rare and stunning antique chandelier is made in France and it embodies everything that European craftsmanship stood for in the early 1900s. With all its ancient and less ancient châteaux, its many Gothic churches and with all the monasteries, France is the country where most of the European Gothic Revival art and antiques were created. This sizeable, Medieval style chandelier is very impressive for two very good reasons. First of all, the design is unlike anything you ever saw. The five large and flying phoenix sculptures with their detailed wings, their long necks, their fierce looking heads and their pointy-flame-tails truly make this chandelier a work of lighting art. Secondly, when you realize that this chandelier is entirely handcrafted and put together with bronze parts only then you get an idea of the workmanship that it took to create this work of art. To make it even more impressive and special, this antique bronze light fixture...

Inspired by Napoleon’s late-18th-century expedition to the Middle East, French artisans and menuisiers began incorporating motifs from antiquity into their creations. This pair of 19th-century bronze and marble candelabras perfectly epitomizes the resulting ‘Egyptian Revival’ style, seamlessly marrying masterful French craftsmanship with ancient aesthetics. Perhaps the most prominent Egyptian theme is the two golden ibis (symbolizing wisdom and communication) facing outwards that support the leaf cup bobeches. One cup rests on top of each creature’s head, while a third candle holder is positioned moderately above, between the birds’ wings. An ankh, which translates to “life”, hangs beneath the center bobeche, while each bird also clutches another Egyptian cross in one of its talons. The other claw perches on the rim of a tall urn with rosette-centric handles and a cluster of palmettes emerging from the interior. Geometric motifs and foliage further embellish the urn, which stands atop a classical plinth set on a pyramid-shaped base of black marble. The stone has been incised with golden pseudo-hieroglyphics and thin cartouche borders. A golden cobra, known as Uræus, with a floret on its head, hugs each side of the marble, rising to flank the urn’s plinth. Uræus was reserved for Egyptian royalty, with the pharaohs wearing an image of the snake on their heads as a rite of protection. Initially intended to serve as illumination in a formal French room, our pair of Egyptian Revival candelabras...
