About the Item
Very Large French Chandelier in Bronze & Opaline Napoleon III Period
A magnificent converted bronze oil lamp with character and charm from the nineteenth century.
The chandelier features its original oil tank in copper and bronze that is decorated with floral motifs; its original white and green opaque glass shade and its original wick mechanism that is fully intact and stamped 20" BEC MATODOR*IMPORTE*A BERTHAU, BORDEAUX.
A bronze adjustable height ball, that was used for extinguishing the flame, hangs above the shade.
The chandelier has been previously converted to take four bayonet light bulbs (three 25 watt bulbs to the outside and one 40 watt candle light bulb in the centre). To each side of the three outside bulbs is a pair of candles, six candles in total.
The light is suspended from a sturdy beautifully cast ceiling rose decorated with flowers and acanthus leaves. It is suspended from bronze tubes that are linked together and incorporate dragons heads with scrolling tails. To the base is a central turned bronze orb.
All in very good condition, this magnificent chandelier is a rare find. One candle holder and one drip tray have been previously replaced. There is minor discoloration to the green opaline shade.
The piece has been cleaned, re-wired and tested for EU use. It may need re-wiring for your location / country. As with all electrical lighting we recommend having it tested by an approved electrician.
