19th Century Louis XVI Bronze Chandelier with Arrow Feather and Rooster Head Motif

This detailed Louis XVI chandelier is cast in bronze and dates back to the 19th century. The French antique piece most notably sports a rooster head motif on each of the eight scrolling arms. The arms themselves are draped in acanthus leaves and fleurettes, ending in beaded bronze bobeches. The crown at top is detailed and patterned. Moving down the stem we find flowing arrow feathers tucked into a unique orb-shaped center, which is itself patterned simply. The details culminate in a charactered and balanced fixture.
