French Empire Gilt and Patinated Bronze Eight-Light Chandelier

About the Item

This chandelier is a French Empire eight-light fixture made in 19th century from patinated and gilt bronze. The design features classical elements from the Empire period, including lion heads, winged female masks, and stylized leaf patterns. The main structure is a dark bronze bowl with a wide gold-colored band around the top. The band is decorated with engraved patterns and applied mounts of lion heads and winged female faces spaced between the arms. Eight curved arms extend from the band, each shaped like a horn and ending in a candle holder with a round tray beneath. The underside of the bowl is fitted with a leaf-shaped mount and a hanging acorn-shaped finial. The chandelier hangs from four openwork chains connected to a round top section with leaf designs and a pinecone-shaped ornament in the center.
