This Louis XVI chandelier is made of beautiful bronze and sports a plethora of unique elements in its design. Looking closely, we see fleur de lis elements on the crown of the French antique piece. Simple pattern work is seen in the circular element at center of the stem. The curved, outreaching arms sport pineapples at bottom, and curving bunches of grapes at top. The bronze candle cups and floriate bobeches, are simply, yet beautifully patterned. Finally, simply cast acanthus leaves rest at bottom of each arm bookending the 19th century piece.
