About the Item
This early 20th-century pendant chandelier was made in the Neoclassical style, which originated in Europe in the early 18th Century. The Neoclassical style was characterized by its symmetry and a return to ancient Greek and Roman motifs. The eye-catching ram heads on the fixture are prominent neoclassical motifs. Rams were multifaceted symbols of ancient Greek culture, being associated with Zeus, Ares, and the myth of the golden fleece.
The artisan captured the metaphors by intricately carving ridges in the horns, the coarseness of the hair, and fierce piercing eyes. Peta-like palmettes decorated the trim and are etched into the glass bowl and finial. Three chains are attached to the rim, connecting the piece to the crown.
Entirely coated with ormolu, the richness, and original appearance remains timeless. A rope made of natural fibers runs down the middle, concealing the electrical wire.

Early 20th C. French Rococo Revival 6 Arm Gilt Bronze and Crystal Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century six-arm Rococo-style gilt bronze and crystal chandelier features porcelain plaques inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French Rococo painter. The Rococo style is celebrated for its ornate elements, intricate curves, and nature-inspired motifs.
The chandelier's cast bronze body is adorned with porcelain plaques and crystal prisms in various shapes and sizes. Encrusted crystal beads at the bottom enhance illumination and beauty. When lit, the faceted crystals create a brilliant display, complementing the exquisite bronze detailing.
This chandelier blends seamlessly with another similar chandelier, which, while not identical, mirrors its aesthetic charm. This chandelier is made of gilt bronze and brass, offering a luxurious and luminous appearance due to the thin layer of gold gilding, known as ormolu. In contrast, the other chandelier is not gilt, featuring a natural, darker bronze patina. Together, they pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
