About the Item

This French Louis XV-style crystal chandelier is a hand-cast gilt bronze piece, featuring a combination of bronze for the body and arms, and brass for the bobeches, crafted in the style of Maison Jansen. Maison Jansen, a renowned Parisian interior design firm founded in 1880 by Jean-Henri Jansen, gained international fame, serving a distinguished clientele across Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. The chandelier showcases an acanthus-shaped crown that flows elegantly down into a central column adorned with foliate designs. The three scroll arms lead to brass candle cups. Crystal beads are carefully set into small pierced holes on the brass bobeches, allowing light to shine through and make the beads sparkle beautifully when lit. Further embellishment includes beaded crystal swags, accented by dainty bronze flowers. This exquisite fixture adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to any space. Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=32 in. W=22 in. D=22 in. 30 lbs.

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...
