About the Item

The Neoclassical style often has an opulent look that is balanced with clean shapes and classical details. It pays homage to the Greek and Roman culture and was a defining style of the French during the 19th Century. The top urn motif is a visual shorthand for the elegance and austere beauty of the ancients. It has three delicate acanthus arms stemming from a single torch-like pendant body topped with ram heads around the center. These rams have been meticulously cast, etched, and engraved with realistic details like fur, horns, and eyes. Rams hold lots of symbolism such as power, strength, and nobility, and were also prominent animals in Greek and Roman culture. The intricate metalwork, like the beaded trim and leaf-like ornaments, adds texture to this visually stunning masterpiece. This piece is exemplary artwork of Neoclassicism and has the power to make any room look majestic and classic. Place this chandelier in a bathroom, entryway, or even walk-in closet to appreciate its beauty. This chandelier is rewired to meet US electrical standards. It takes three candelabra-size bulbs, incandescent or LED. Each light bulb can use up to a maximum of 60 watts. This fixture requires a canopy and chain which is not included. H= 20 in. (without canopy and chain) W=15 in. D= 15 in. 10 lbs.

Early 20th Century French Rococo Revival Five Arm Bronze and Crystal Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century five-arm Rococo-style bronze and crystal chandelier features porcelain plaques inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French Rococo painter. The Rococo style is celebrated for its ornate elements, intricate curves, and nature-inspired motifs. The chandelier's cast bronze body is adorned with porcelain plaques and crystal prisms in various shapes and sizes. Encrusted crystal beads at the bottom enhance illumination and beauty. When lit, the faceted crystals create a brilliant display, complementing the exquisite bronze detailing. This chandelier blends seamlessly with another similar chandelier, which, while not identical, mirrors its aesthetic charm. The other chandelier, made of gilt bronze and brass, complements this one beautifully, despite lacking gilding. Gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, has been gilded with a thin layer of gold, giving it a more luxurious and luminous appearance than plain bronze, which retains its natural, darker patina. They also pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
