French 19th Century Renaissance Revival Chandelier

This beautiful Renaissance Revival chandelier is made of bronze and hangs suspended from four brass chains. The French antique chandelier dates back to the late 19th century and features a Fleur de Lis motif on the reticulated center ring. The lights are arranged in pairs of flower buds surrounding the singular downward facing light inside a satin glass blossom at center. The positioning works to highlight the novelty of electric light which had been invented shortly before the piece’s creation.
