This extremely large French Belle Epoque chandelier is made of bronze and plays host to a congregation of 40 arms. The piece is a gasolier, meaning originally gas burning chandelier, and still sports the keys to turn the flow of gas on and off. It dates back to the late 19th century, circa 1890, and features the original cut glass plaquettes alongside crystal bobeches. The bronze center offers beading and simple pattern work. It embraces the chandeliers three tiers, carrying a task similar to Atlas’ with class and elegance. A simple acorn finial rests at bottom. The quality is phenomenal, and the scale is beyond belief, making it suitable for only the grandest of spaces.

Unusual Italian Iron and Tole Chandelier, Single or Pair
Item Number: 4048
This Italian tole chandelier features an incredibly unique design and dates back to the early 20th century. Curved, patterned tole extends from the crown to hold cone shaped tops resembling candle snuffers. The six lights rest behind a six sided shade, also made of tole, with bands resembling lace wrapped around the top and bottom. The arms themselves extend from a vase shaped center, which they mirror with added fluting. Each is finished with a simple finial, putting a beautiful period on the sentence that is this character filled chandelier.
