This stately and stunning Restauration chandelier features a striking combination of patinated and burnished bronze. The 19th century French antique piece was originally created for gas, but has been fully converted to electric. Note the six finial-adorned arms ending in a shape inspired by Aladdin’s lamp. The vase shaped center is stunning in its matte black middle bookended by fluted, golden elements at top and bottom. Uniquely, a collection of Egyptian inspired feline feet surround the finial at bottom. Lastly, the piece rests suspended from a burnished bronze crown with patinated bronze rods connecting to the arms. This combination of elements produces a well balanced fixture dripping with character, destined to draw attention and bring inspiration to any room.

Grand French 19th Century Empire Bronze d’Ore and Crystal Chandelier
Item Number: 6641
This classic Empire style bronze d'ore chandelier is draped with ropes of octagon cut crystals and dates back to the 19th century. The French antique piece offers 18 lights and a crown of reticulated acanthus leaves which sport gorgeous oval cut crystals. The ropes of octagon crystals lead us to the two larger rings below, the first of which holds its lights upon palmette flowers, the second of which features gorgeous bronze d’ore winged allegorical figures below the bronze d’ore candle cups and bobeches. At bottom a bowl shaped collection of octagon cut crystals brings us to a bronze d’ore ring set with large pear-shaped cut crystal teardrops in the lapidary fashion. Uniquely, the chandelier is similar in design to the three large chandeliers that hang in the East Room of the White House.
