19th Century 12-Light Chandelier circa 1820-1830, Empire France Bronce

About the Item

This magnificent Empire chandelier exemplifies the grandeur of early 19th-century French design. Crafted from ormolu and patinated bronze, it reflects the Empire style's fascination with classical antiquity, inspired by Roman oil lamps. The chandelier features a circular frame adorned with finely cast and gilt ornaments, supported by elegantly patinated bronze arms that hold 12 lights, recently electrified and thoroughly inspected to meet modern standards. The detailed craftsmanship of the gilt bronze embellishments highlights its luxurious character, while the harmonious combination of patinated and gilt bronze lends a sophisticated contrast. An exceptional example of Empire-period lighting, this chandelier embodies both historical significance and timeless elegance, making it a striking focal point for any distinguished interior.
