Large French Louis XVI Ormolu Bronze Crystal 18-Light Chandelier
DETAILS
Rising on a central, crystal fount, this very large antique French chandelier features three upper tiers in umbrella shape in gilt bronze, with two lower tiers inverted and housing the lovely, tall and slender candle lights. This piece is special for the myriad round crystals of varied sizes, including a large, cut one at the bottom, and the elaborate beaded swags. It is of the highest quality; an impressive piece and nice, compact size. It was salvaged from a Paris building in the 1970s and is a rare surviving example of the elegance of the time.
