Antique French Louis XVI Bronze Chandelier

About the Item

Antique French Louis XVI style bronze chandelier is a spectacular design, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture! The original canopy survives, cast to depict a laurel rosette, which leads the eye down to the top of the fixture which has been cast to depict a bow of ribbon. Cascading down from the bow are cast chain segments connected to each upturned arm below, which are fitted with matching laurel bobeches and candlestick holders. Exquisite foliate and acanthus leaf flourishes are abundant surrounding the central shaft, and below where the arms are affixed appear beautiful angel's faces, flanked by floral garlands and affixed to the central shaft cast to depict a carquois de fleche, symbol of the power of the French monarchy for centuries! Newly electrified with standard US wiring, circa 1890s. Fixture measures: 36 height x 20 in diameter, 44 height including chain and canopy.

This exquisite chandelier fitted with countless circular cut crystals hanging in a form commonly called "sack of pearls" is the epitome of the classical style that was revived during the reign of Louis XVI and since has gone by his name. The bronze crown was cast with incredible detail and features a pair of floral swags embracing the topmost strands of the crystals, smallest in size at the top and graduating to larger sizes before reaching the main body of the fixture below. The body consists of an unusual interpretation of the Greek coin form, using laurel swags to define the piercings in the hoop, with decorative acanthus crests with olive branches alternating with the three classically-inspired sconces each with a pair of bobeches and mounts on scrolled arms emanating from the bronze corbel...
