Antique French Louis XVI Sack of Pearls Chandelier

About the Item

Antique French Louis XVI sack of pearls chandelier is a marvel of the crystal-worker's art! Using brushed steel for the architecture, it includes the original matching canopy. Just below the canopy appears the crown with arched arms festooned with crystals and holding large teardrop faceted crystals. Crystal strands swag down to the main circular body from which the lighting arms emanate, appearing between arched arms with crystals that match those on the crown. From the circular body hangs the so-called sack of pearls under which appear spearhead-shaped crystals encircling a faceted ball. Newly electrified with standard wiring, included in the price, circa mid-1900s. Measures: 35 height x 24.5 in diameter.

  • Antique French Louis XVI Sack of Pearls Crystal & Bronze Chandelier
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Antique French Louis XVI Sack of Pearls crystal & bronze chandelier represents the rare opportunity to acquire a sublime work of art that also happens to provide lighting for your room! 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...
