By French Antiques | Published: September 14, 2018

Item Number: 6254

This elaborate French Louis XVI bronze d'ore chandelier dates back to the early 19th century.

Imagining these golden cherubs reflected in the original candle light gives the chandelier a truly magical feeling. The cups and bobeches are filled with detail. The leafy bunch of grapes as a finial at the bottom is likely an ode to bacchus, the god of wine. The 32 lights combined with the themes of wine and music produce a unique and detailed piece.
