19th Century French Wrought Iron Twelve-Light Chandelier with Fleurs-de-Lys

About the Item

Place this large antique light fixture over a dining table, or in a den. Forged in Normandy France circa 1880, and almost four feet in diameter, the large chandelier built of solid wrought iron, features a circular crown decorated with multiple Fleur-de-Lys motifs throughout. The elegant round fixture has six-double scrolled torchere arms with twisted bottom flame; each light is newly wired, embellished with decorative bobeches and dressed with thick real wax candle sleeve covers. The light also features the three original chains connected with a ring at the top. The heavy Gothic chandelier is in excellent condition and adorns a rich black iron patinated finish. The chandelier will give a true "Old World" look to any traditional home. Included: canopy, loop, and chain, each color-matched to the fixture. The Fleur-de-Lis, also spelled Fleur-de-Lys, is a stylized lily (in French, fleur and lis mean 'flower' and 'lily' respectively) that is used as a decorative design or symbol. The Fleur-de-Lis has been used in the heraldry of numerous European nations, but is particularly associated with France, notably during its monarchical period. As France is a historically Catholic nation, the Fleur-de-Lis became "at one and the same time, religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic," especially in French heraldry. The Fleur-de-Lis has been used by French royalty and throughout history to represent Catholic saints of France. In particular, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph are often depicted with a lily. Measures: 46" diameter 27" height.
