About the Item
A sculptural French Belle Époque chandelier featuring a reclining putto surrounded by richly gilded botanical forms and four original opaline glass shades. Romantic, cinematic, and perfectly scaled for Hollywood Regency and high end residential interiors.
This chandelier embodies the romantic elegance of French Belle Époque lighting, where sculpture and decorative metalwork merge into a single expressive form. At the center, a reclining putto appears to float effortlessly through an abundance of gilded foliage, flowers, and twisting vines, creating a sense of movement and lightness. The finely worked gilt metal catches the light beautifully, offering the warm, golden reflection associated with turn of the century French interiors.
The four opaline glass shades, shaped like elegant eggs or droplets, diffuse the light into a soft, flattering glow. This makes the chandelier both visually striking and highly functional, ideal for creating atmosphere rather than harsh illumination. Decorative yet well balanced in scale, the composition feels refined rather than heavy, a quality especially appreciated by interior designers.
Perfect for a Beverly Hills entry hall, a Sunset Boulevard powder room, or an intimate dining space, this piece delivers the kind of Old World European glamour that translates seamlessly into Hollywood Regency and layered contemporary interiors.
Good antique condition with attractive, age appropriate patina throughout. The gilt metal structure shows light wear consistent with age, enhancing its character and authenticity. The sculptural putto figure retains a beautiful, time softened surface. All four opaline glass shades are intact and in very good condition. The chandelier retains European wiring and is suitable for use in the US with professional inspection, re wiring to meet local electrical standards is recommended.
