French 19th Century Restauration Bronze d’Ore & Patinated Bronze Chandelier

About the Item

This phenomenal Restauration chandelier features a combination of patinated bronze and bronze d’ore which yields this undeniably eye-catching look. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century and offers details in plenty; Note the acanthus leaves at top, the pattern work on the center stem, the pointed finials below each collection of lights, as well as the beaded drippers and detailed bobeches above. What makes the piece so engaging is, of course, the alternating elements of patinated and gold leafed bronze. The result is simply fantastic with the matte black look providing a phenomenal canvas for the golden elements to stand out. It’s a timeless combination, one that is bound to yield attention and produce inspiration in any room it finds itself in. Each piece in our shop is professionally rewired and in working order. They have been rewired at our fourth generation antique store in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Each chandelier and lantern comes with a vintage canopy, three feet of chain, and ample wire, and each sconce comes with all materials needed to mount. Each piece is newly wired with UL approved wire and sockets and is fully operable. This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian. By purchasing from our shop, you're supporting a family run business which focuses on artisan made, high quality craft with an emphasis on quality. Thank you for helping us continue a dream started four generations ago!
