About the Item

This French crystal chandelier dates back to the mid 20th century and offers a unique design. At top we see a crown of scrolling crystal. Moving down the central stem we meet a beautiful and simply patterned crystal bowl from which the six crystal arms emerge. These arms, like the crystal at top, offer a ribbed design which gives the crystal depth as well as a plethora of angles from which light refracts and dances off of. The six arms end in crystal bobeches, which rest on bronze plates. Finally, the bobeches are embellished with octagonal crystal and crystal spears, a pattern mirrored by the crystal bowl at center. 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!
