19th Century Empire Bronze Chandelier with Palmetto Crown and Flame Center

This stately French Empire chandelier is made of bronze and dates back to the 19th century. The piece is beautifully suspended from a palmetto crown by three bronze link chains with a flame center. Six outreaching arms are finished with bronze candle cups and detailed floriate drippers.  Lastly, a heavy acanthus finial bookends the fixture at bottom.
