About the Item
Beautiful pair of Louis XVI style chandeliers, hand crafted stucco and copper with ten lights. The central shaft with indirect lighting is formed by a quiver decorated with flowers, around which a pearl ring brings together the light-arms in the shape of flowering stems highlighted with acanthus leaves. Two wreaths of flowers top the whole, attached to the ribbon-shaped ceiling light by garlands of pearls.
Stucco is a coating whose technique dates back to Antiquity. In the 18th and 19th centuries, artisans used it as a decorative technique to create complex patterns such as leaves, flowers, and scrolls, applied to ceilings or light fixtures. This material added texture to decorative elements, adding depth and relief.
These chandeliers, whose decorative elements such as the quiver, the flower crowns, the acanthus leaves and the knot-shaped ceiling light perfectly illustrate the Louis XVI style, are inspired by the creations of Richard de Lalonde (1735-1808), a designer, decorator and ornamentalist active between 1780 and 1796. From 1780 onwards, Lalonde published a series of notebooks of various works, called Cahiers de meubles, covering a very wide range of drawings for interior decoration for use in painting and ornamental sculpture.
