French Early 20th Century Detailed Bronze Gasolier

This French Louis XVI gasolier is made of hand cast bronze, and dates back to the early 20^th century. Gasolier simply means the piece was originally gas burning, and has since been converted to electricity. The piece features details in plenty; note the ribbon crown, the three twisted support rods with knotted elements, the acanthus leaves outreaching from the fluted arms, joined by a grape motif on the scrolling elements. The center ring offers beauty most notably through the added ribbon work accompanying the lion heads. Below rests a finial detailed acorn finial, and lastly floral glass globes surround each of the three lights forming the stamen.
