French 19th Century Louis XVI Bronze & Crystal Chandelier

This Louis XVI bronze chandelier features a plethora of thick cut crystal as well as bronze candle cups and bobeches.  The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century, and sports a crystal center. The fixture is draped with crystal fleurettes and cut-crystal plaquettes in varying shapes.  The crown is draped in the same way with alternating shapes of cut-crystal plaquettes hanging from crystal plaquettes from each arm. The piece is well balanced, with breadth in between the crown and row of lights emphasized by the thick crystal stem.
