About the Item

An extremely rare antique French neoclassical gilt bronze mounted figural porcelain chandelier. The chandelier is suspended from a circular gilt canopy by four blackened rods adorned with gilt details. The main body consists of a spherical, deep red porcelain reservoir with painted figural scenes in white reserves, surrounded by decorative gilt and violet scrollwork. The porcelain is encircled at its widest point by a blackened bronze band applied with gilt rosettes, while the top is crowned with a gilt flame finial. Six scrolled bronze arms extend outward, each terminating in a gilt bronze candle nozzle and drip pan, now fitted with electric candle-form lights. The arms feature stylized griffin or winged beast supports in blackened bronze with gilt accents at their terminals. The chandelier is French in origin and reflects neoclassical design influences. The central porcelain section is decorated with mythological-style figures, each framed by architectural and vegetal motifs. The mounts combine black-patinated and gilt bronze, a pairing often employed in French decorative lighting of the 19th century. The gilt bronze elements include the armature, candle sockets, rosettes, finial, and the canopy, all worked with neoclassical ornament. The chandelier’s production would have required collaboration between porcelain painters and bronze casters, a common practice in France during the period. Porcelain sections were likely executed in a Parisian workshop specializing in decorative wares, with figural painting applied over a rich red ground. The mounts, combining matte black patina and gilding, follow the neoclassical tradition popularized in France in the late 18th and revived in the 19th century. This chandelier reflects the technical precision of both porcelain and bronze workshops, combining materials into a cohesive lighting form.
