Chandelier "aux Têtes de Bélier" attr. to H. Vian, France, Circa 1890

About the Item

Charming Louis XVI style chandelier in gilded bronze, clear and amber cut crystal with six lights. The central shaft, formed by a succession of balusters in cut and faceted crystal, is connected to the light-arms by garlands of pearls. The beaded basins are adorned with a ram’s head, and the whole is decorated with cut crystal drops, diamonds and prisms. Biography Henri Vian, a bronze-caster active in the second half of the 19th Century, made a lot of interior decorations with chimney mantelpieces, ormolu and patinated-mounted vases, chandeliers… He produced articles of the highest quality. The signature can be either in script, usually with a lower case first letter for his Christian name as on these vases, or more commonly with initials h.V. in later pieces. The business, located at 5 rue de Thorigny in Paris (Salé Mansion, now Picasso Museum), was continued by Madame Vian after her husband’s death in 1905.
