About the Item

This Important French Empire chandelier, dating to the 19th century, features a gilt bronze frame adorned with neoclassical motifs. The ormolu structure includes finely cast wreaths and acanthus leaves, characteristic of the Empire aesthetic. The frame supports multiple candle-style lights arranged in a balanced circular formation, extending outward with curved gilt bronze arms. The chandelier is draped with cut crystal beads and prisms, forming cascading strands that connect to the upper corona and extend downward in a lace-like arrangement. Larger crystal drops accent the outer frame, while additional strands loop between the candle arms. The central support structure is further embellished with crystal elements, culminating in a decorative finial at the base. The combination of gilt bronze and cut crystal reflects the refinement of 19th-century French lighting design. The chandelier’s design follows the Empire tradition, which emphasized grandeur and symmetry, often drawing from classical antiquity. The presence of ormolu wreaths and foliate details aligns with the period’s preference for decorative elements inspired by Roman and Greek motifs.
