This beautiful pair of Louis XVI two tiered chandeliers are made of bronze and are embellished with a plethora of fine crystal. The French antique pair dates back to the 19th century and features a fantastic spiraling crystal center with a hollow crystal sphere insert. The acanthus leaf crown at top is draped with ropes of octagon crystal as well as crystal spears. Moving towards the twelve lights, we see beautiful crystal bobeches and a large gallery of octagonal crystal ropes connecting the concise bronze arms. The large crystals below each bobeche are especially unique in both their size and cut. Final details can be found in the acorn finial at bottom, and tulip shaped finial resting below.
