About the Item
This exquisite vintage French Louis XV-style chandelier is a testament to Rococo elegance and craftsmanship. Crafted from brass, the chandelier features four ascending, delicately curved arms, each holding a crystal scalloped bobeche. These arms are particularly noteworthy for their dainty and fragile appearance, adorned with intricate scrollwork that enhances their delicate design.
Reflecting the Louis XV style, this chandelier embodies the Rococo influence with its sinuous curves and rocaille ornamentation, characteristic of the period. The brass frame provides a warm, golden hue that perfectly complements the chandelier's light and airy aesthetic.
The chandelier is lavishly adorned with faceted prisms, including pendalogues, rosettes, and a central crystal sphere to create a dazzling display of light. The combination of graceful curves and sparkling crystals crafts a sense of refined luxury, making this piece a timeless centerpiece that captures the elegance of 18th-century French decor.
