About the Item

A unique antique French Louis XVI style ormolu and cut crystal chandelier. The chandelier is designed in a tent and bag form, with strands of faceted cut crystal beads descending from the ormolu corona to a circular gilt bronze band. The frame is richly decorated with laurel leaves, floral garlands, and medallion crests enclosing cut crystal rosettes. Surmounting the upper ring are gilt bronze mounts with winged griffins, classical motifs, and anthemion finials, while the lower section terminates in a basket-form cluster of crystal beads centered by a gilt bronze pendant finial. From the central gilt bronze ring, long vertical prisms of cut crystal are suspended in alternating sections, creating a draped effect between garlands of faceted crystal chains. Large oval cut crystal jewels are set within ormolu medallions at regular intervals around the perimeter, further accentuating the neoclassical design. The chandelier is fitted with internal branches for illumination, arranged to cast light through the prisms and faceted crystals. Additional details include hanging teardrop-shaped pendants from the upper corona, which is finished with ormolu acanthus leaves and rosettes. This chandelier follows the Louis XVI style, characterized by symmetry, classical ornament, and refined proportions. The use of cut crystal prisms combined with chased gilt bronze mounts reflects the elaborate decorative vocabulary of late 18th-century French lighting design. Chandeliers of this form were produced in Paris workshops during the late 1700s and continued into the 19th century, often supplied to grand interiors where ormolu-mounted crystal lighting was highly favored for its brilliance and neoclassical ornament.
