About the Item
This exquisite vintage French Louis XV-style chandelier is a testament to Rococo elegance and craftsmanship. Crafted from brass, the chandelier features four ascending, delicately curved arms, each holding a crystal scalloped bobeche. These arms are particularly noteworthy for their dainty and fragile appearance, adorned with intricate scrollwork that enhances their delicate design.
Reflecting the Louis XV style, this chandelier embodies the Rococo influence with its sinuous curves and rocaille ornamentation, characteristic of the period. The brass frame provides a warm, golden hue that perfectly complements the chandelier's light and airy aesthetic.
The chandelier is lavishly adorned with faceted prisms, including pendalogues, rosettes, and a central crystal sphere to create a dazzling display of light. The combination of graceful curves and sparkling crystals crafts a sense of refined luxury, making this piece a timeless centerpiece that captures the elegance of 18th-century French decor.

Early 20th Century French Rococo Revival Five Arm Bronze and Crystal Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century five-arm Rococo-style bronze and crystal chandelier features porcelain plaques inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French Rococo painter. The Rococo style is celebrated for its ornate elements, intricate curves, and nature-inspired motifs.
The chandelier's cast bronze body is adorned with porcelain plaques and crystal prisms in various shapes and sizes. Encrusted crystal beads at the bottom enhance illumination and beauty. When lit, the faceted crystals create a brilliant display, complementing the exquisite bronze detailing.
This chandelier blends seamlessly with another similar chandelier, which, while not identical, mirrors its aesthetic charm. The other chandelier, made of gilt bronze and brass, complements this one beautifully, despite lacking gilding. Gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, has been gilded with a thin layer of gold, giving it a more luxurious and luminous appearance than plain bronze, which retains its natural, darker patina. They also pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
