"Large Mid-19th Century Gilt-bronze And Crystal Basket Chandelier"
Beautiful
large basket chandelier made of lost-wax gilded bronze, embellished with
crystals. It features 24 lights, with arms shaped like a stylized cornucopia,
also in gilded bronze, and small crystal pendants. The structure is divided by
two gilded bronze bands decorated with floral motifs and theatrical masks,
recalling a classical taste and Pompeian style. These bands are connected by
almond-shaped and cut crystal chains. The upper part is decorated with a gilded
bronze plant motif from which crystals hang. The chandelier is in good
condition and, thanks to its elegance and refinement, can furnish any space
with class. French manufacture from the Napoleon III period, around the
mid-19th century.
