For project developers, Architects and Interior Designers. For Hotels, Restaurants or big mansions and Lodges, etc... Chandelier & Sconces from George V Hotel Paris 1960's. One-of-a-kind - A unique opportunity to own a piece of French luxury and history... Spectacular and large chandelier with 6 matching sconces from the George V Hotel in Paris. Circa 1960s.

Therefore, they have been unable to confirm the artist or the manufacturer of this chandelier and sconces. This chandelier and sconces represent a moment in history from a Parisian hotel where famous people and celebrities from around the world stayed for decades. The structure is metal. Four iron frames must be assembled to form a unique frame of approximately 240 x 240 cm (95" x 95"). On this structure, 8 pieces of aluminum covered in brass are screwed on like a puzzle, separated by heavy bronze frames. From this structure hang around one thousand (1000) lucite (acrylic) tubes (rods) arranged in a diamond pattern. The tallest tube measures 120 cm (4 ft) high. Unfortunately, we do not have images of the chandelier when it was mounted on the ceiling at the George V hotel, as at that time, photography was not allowed inside the hotel. The sconces measure approximately 68 cm wide (27") by 21 cm deep (8") by 120 cm (4ft) high, with the 54 tubes (rods) installed. The wiring needs to be fully redone with an LED system. The original wiring used neon lights...
