French 19th Century Louis XV Bronze Chandelier

This beautiful French Louis XV chandelier is made of bronze and features elaborate leaf castings. The piece dates back to the 19th century. Note the precision in the casting; the intricate bronze crown, the detailed open stem moving downwards to the arms surrounded by grape vines. Finally, the piece is finished at bottom with a bottom finial of grapes. The open center combines with the 24 outreaching arms to give a wonderful sense of movement in this stately chandelier.
