French 19th Century Empire Bronze & Crystal Chandelier
Item Number: 5552
This beautiful Empire chandelier features delicate bronze and cascading ropes of octagonal crystal. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century and features a series of delightful details. Notice the lion heads at the top of each arm, and the pattern-work on the two rings at top and bottom, as well as the large, reticulated center ring. The crown features outreaching bronze elements adorned with long, hanging crystals. Finally, the bronze candle cups and bobeches sport minimal pattern-work and carry small beads of crystals followed by more long spears.
