French 19th Century Louis XV Gilded Iron Chandelier with Clear, Amethyst, and Amber Crystals

 

This Louis XV chandelier features both black and gold leaf gilded iron draped with a plethora of clear, amber, smoke and amethyst cut crystal plaquettes. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century. Beginning at top, we see crystal fluerettes enveloped by alternating amethyst and clear petals. Hanging from a crown of gilded acanthus leaves rest beautifully carved pear shaped plaquettes. At the crown’s center, we see an amber crystal ball, and as we move downward the eye meets a beautiful smoke colored spear. Continuing outward along the arms we find more amber, amethyst, and clear crystal plaquettes. This tantalizing piece offers exciting details at every glance, all the while remaining understated and unostentatious in its beauty.
