19th Century Napoleon III Bronze d’Ore Chandelier

This gorgeous French Napoleon III chandelier is made of richly detailed bronze d’ore and dates back to the 19th century. At top, the piece features a crown of acanthus leaves. Traveling down the chandelier’s detailed center stem, we see a beautifully unique Regence treillage embellished with a floriate decoration. The two tiered fixture is heavily lit, with every other group of arms emerging from a cornucopia horn. The d’ore drippers, candle cups, and bobeches are detailed and adorned with an acanthus leaf motif. Finally, an ornate and flowing finial rests at bottom, bookending this magnificent chandelier.
