This Bacchus themed French Louis XVI chandelier features beautifully detailed bronze d’ore and dates back to the 19th century. Note the movement in the ribbon work at top as well as the arms, the grape leaf finials and vines flowing through the piece, the outreaching arms with beaded cups, detailed bobeches, and swags of garlands. Acanthus leaves are interspersed at the base, lightly in comparison with the abundance of grapes, vines, and bacchus heads with paired arms extending above. The god of wine’s influence is unapologetically seen, in fact it is loudly and joyously exclaimed in the craftsmanship, resulting in an immaculate chandelier.

French 19th Century Louis XIV Bronze d’Ore Chandelier
Item Number: 3005b
This French Louis XIV bronze d’ore chandelier is richly detailed and features a finely chiseled shell motif at the center. Notice the movement and definition from the crown, through the center stem, as we venture toward the arms. The arms are heavily detailed in themselves as they each embody an outreaching acanthus leaf to hold the candle at their end. Rounding this 19th century piece off is an acorn finial and dart and egg pattern at the bottom.
