About the Item

This 20th-century French chandelier features a unique and whimsical design, reminiscent of a hot air balloon shape. The structure is composed of gracefully arched metal rods forming an open dome, creating an airy and elegant silhouette. Around the upper part of the chandelier, there are decorative draped garlands, adding a touch of classic French style. The chandelier has four arms extending outward at the base, each holding a candle-style light socket with faux wax drips, which evoke a vintage aesthetic. The finish has a distressed, gilded look, blending gold tones with subtle hints of patina for an antique effect. This chandelier combines traditional French craftsmanship with a playful and artistic design, making it a charming centerpiece for any room.
