French Empire Gilded Bronze and Metal Chandelier with Palmettes, circa 1870
About the Item
A French Empire style gilt bronze and metal six-light chandelier from the late 19th century, with palmettes and profiled links. This exquisite French Empire style bronze and metal chandelier, dating from the third quarter of the 19th century, brings elegance and historical charm to any space. The dark metal bowl, adorned with detailed bronze palmettes and petite bead accents, serves as the focal point of the design. Six graceful swan neck arms extend from the bowl, each featuring a mythical animal head delicately holding a bobèche in its mouth, supporting resin candle sleeves. The chandelier is connected to the ornate upper canopy through intricately profiled links, adding a regal touch to its overall composition.
The striking contrast of dark metal and gilded bright bronze creates a stunning visual effect, making this chandelier a perfect statement piece in any living room, dining room, or grand foyer. With its intricate detailing and elegant proportions, it would also be a striking addition to traditional or Empire-inspired interiors. Fully wired for the US and ready to be hung, this chandelier blends artistry with functionality, offering both lighting and a sense of historical grandeur.
This 1870s French Empire chandelier is an excellent choice for those seeking to bring a touch of refined European craftsmanship and timeless sophistication to their home decor.
