About the Item
Offered for sale is a striking French mid-20th-century six-light chandelier, masterfully combining sculptural drama with nautical whimsy. Crafted from hand-forged and painted tole metal, this dramatic spherical fixture features a central three-dimensional galleon ship sculpture suspended within an open orb frame. The ship, rendered in burnished gold and bronze tones, recalls a stylized 17th-century sailing vessel with furled sails and rigging, evoking an old-world maritime charm.
The six candelabra-style arms radiate outward from the orb, each topped with faux candle sockets and patinated brass bobeches, creating a balanced silhouette ideal for rustic, coastal, or eclectic interiors. The chandelier itself measures 35 inches high (43 inches with chain) and spans an impressive 41 inches in diameter. The ship sculpture at the center is 23 inches wide, 20 inches tall, and 5 inches deep.
A true conversation piece, this chandelier would be equally captivating over a dining table, in an entryway, or as a decorative focal point in a themed interior. The imaginative blend of nautical and neoclassical design elements reflects the influence of French tole craftsmanship, with attention to both sculptural detail and atmospheric lighting.
