About the Item

Late 19th Century French Napoleon III 24-light gilt bronze monumental chandelier By: unknown Material: metal, bronze, copper, tin, glass Technique: cast, molded, polished, metalwork, gilt Dimensions: 54 in x 67 in Date: late 19th century Style: Napoleon III, Neoclassical, Empire Place of origin: France Napoleon III's design embraced grandeur and historicist influences, blending Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical elements into highly decorative pieces. This French chandelier reflects that idea, with its elaborate gilt bronze structure and meticulously crafted details. At its core, a finely cast central column extends into six gracefully curved arms, each dividing into four additional branches, forming a symmetrical arrangement of twenty-four lights. The richly adorned framework showcases scrolling acanthus leaves, classical motifs, and sculptural flourishes, characteristic of both the Napoleon III and Neoclassical styles. The gilded bronze surface enhances the depth of the relief work, accentuating the interplay of light and shadow across the composition. The chandelier’s balanced proportions and ornamental sophistication suggest the influence of 18th-century French design, reinterpreted through the opulent lens of the Empire aesthetic. A statement piece, it embodies the period’s dedication to craftsmanship, material refinement, and decorative complexity. The complete light fixture weighs approximately 353 lbs (about 160 kg).
