French 19th Century Restauration Bronze Chandelier
Item Number: 1817
This stately and stunning Restauration chandelier features a striking combination of patinated and burnished bronze. The 19th century French antique piece was originally created for gas, but has been fully converted to electric. Note the six finial-adorned arms ending in a shape inspired by Aladdin’s lamp. The vase shaped center is stunning in its matte black middle bookended by fluted, golden elements at top and bottom. Uniquely, a collection of Egyptian inspired feline feet surround the finial at bottom. Lastly, the piece rests suspended from a burnished bronze crown with patinated bronze rods connecting to the arms. This combination of elements produces a well balanced fixture dripping with character, destined to draw attention and bring inspiration to any room.
