About the Item

This fantastic Rococo-style chandelier features finely chiseled bronze d’ore. The piece was originally made for gas and uniquely sports horizontal fleur de lis key at the base of each cup to turn the flow of gas on and off. Dating back to the 19th century, the French antique piece offers bronze d’ore drippers, candle cups, and bobeches. This magnificent chandelier is suspended from a bronze d’ore floriate crown with a d’ore center adorned with outreaching acanthus leaves. Finally, the d’ore scroll arms themselves are acanthus leaves which curl into the d’ore candle cups. The piece is a store favorite, sitting above the desk of the owners, embodying the Rococo style with grace and style. Each piece in our shop is professionally rewired and in working order. Each chandelier comes with a vintage canopy, three feet of chain, and ample wire, and is newly wired with UL approved wire and sockets and is fully operable. The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
