This balanced and glowing mid 20th century chandelier is cast in bronze and features details in plenty. The French fixture sports fluted bronze bobeches on each of the arms, which are separated into two tiers. The arms themselves feature scrolling elements with fruit and floriate details. Finally, stepping back and taking a look at the piece as a whole, we see the acanthus leaf crown working as the feathers of an arrow, with the detailed finial at bottom reflecting a pointed tip.
