Stunning Antique French and Finest Bronze Sculptural Candle Chandelier / Pendant

About the Item

Remarkable bronze chandelier from 19th century France with striking masks of Zeus. This top quality crafted, antique French chandelier is another great example showing that the French in those days were leading when it came to creating the best quality and detailed candle chandeliers. This particularly elaborate and sculptural specimen is extra special, because it could not be in better condition. In all our years of buying and selling antiques we don't think we have ever seen a bronze pendant or candle chandelier that is still as perfect and straight as this bronze work of beauty. Apart from being remarkably detailed and in mint condition and 'straight as an arrow' it also has grown the most warm and beautiful patina. It may be relatively small in size, but that does not make this rare chandelier any less impressive. You will rarely come accross a chandelier that is more elaborate and detailed than this bronze chandelier in the Style of Louis XIV. Mind you, Sun King Louis XIV was responsible for building the grand palace of Versailles and that grandness too can be found in this exclusive bronze chandelier. This excellent condition and top quality made antique of practical size is an absolute joy to own and look at. Both with the candles 'lit' and 'not lit' this chandelier will create just the right atmosphere in a small room or for example in a corner of a larger room over a smaller table. However, with the candles lit some of the old gilding comes back to life and that makes the bronze Zeus masks even more beautiful and impressive. Thanks to the strong hook inside the original and perfect bronze canopy, mounting this 34 pound weighing pendant will take no more than a minute. This stunning antique chandelier is great value for money. Especially, when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays are complimentary. Height x diameter: 41 x 24.8 inches. Height without the chain & canopy: 24.4 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • XL Antique Alabaster Chandelier / Pendant w. Bronze Ram Sculptures & Rose Shades
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Majestic antique pendant with a stunning, 20 inch alabaster shade and two sets of glass shades. Thanks to its unique design, its impressive size and its truly excellent condition this six-light alabaster chandelier will light up both your days and evenings, both in summer and winter time. This antique light fixture could not be more original and it even comes with a set of three near-transparent glass roses shades AND a set of three amberish color glass roses shades (matching the alabaster). So you can always choose the type of glass rose shades that you think are best for the occasion, season etc. The superb condition, colorful, extra large and deep alabaster shade combined with the equally excellent glass roses are a match made in heaven. However, what takes this chandelier to the next level are the three large and gilt bronze ram sculptures at each of the three suspension points. May these meaningful symbols for determination, power and leadership inspire their new owner(s) to reach for the stars and beyond. The black veins combined with other color veins and patches in this natural mineral stone shade contrast even more beautiful when the light is switched on, because the already marvelous colorful alabaster then turns into an even warmer spectacle of colors. We could shoot a hundred photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this impressive chandelier. The unique patterns inside this hand carved shade are the work of mother nature herself and the light brings them out in their true glory. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant is all but an exception to that rule. You can, again, take our word for it. The original and heavy gilt bronze chain and the stunning and large, gilt bronze canopy are like the icing on the cake of this incredibly rich chandelier. If you have also noticed the double rose pattern on each of the gilt bronze shackles then you must agree that whomever had this chandelier made clearly spared no expenses. And to give you an even better idea of the quality, the gilt bronze canopy alone weighs over 11 pounds lbs. To find this majestic chandelier in such excellent condition made our day, week and month and we are proud to be able to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. For our photos of this six-light chandelier we used three 75 watt bulbs inside the shade and one 60 watt bulb in each of the rose shades. This chandelier, however, will easily take three times 100 watts inside the shade and also easily 80 watts in each of the glass rose...
