19th Century Louis XVI Baccarat Crystal and Bronze D’Ore Chandelier with Rare Rectangular Crystal Prisms

This beautiful Louis XVI bronze d’ore chandelier dates back to the 19th century and is most notably heavily laden with Baccarat crystal.  The crown is draped with ropes of octagon-shaped Baccarat crystal, and heavy crystal teardrops hang from each outreaching leaf. Venturing lower on the two-tier piece, note the chased bronze d’ore candle cups, drippers and bobeches featuring rare rectangular-shaped crystal prisms. The ornate lower-tier is draped with ropes of octagon-shaped Baccarat crystal, hung with plaquettes of varied shapes, and finally, finished with a large crystal ball finial.
