Item Number: 213x
This incredibly unique French Louis XVI chandelier features a beautiful rope & tassel design and dates back to the late 19th century. The details are abundant throughout; note the acanthus leaves at top as well as the crown’s finial mirrored in the center ring’s finial. Vines with roses wrap around each of the three fluted ropes, with a singular butterfly below. Continuing down we meet the garland filled center ring with three lights pointing horizontally, and one below facing the ground. Each light is surrounded by a flower shaped globe, and has a beautifully detailed bobeche. Detailed tassels are found at each of the three ropes’ ends, culminating the chandeliers’ abundant details.
