"Six-arm Crystal Chandelier – Cascade Model – Late 19th Century"
A superb late 19th-century crystal chandelier with six lights, characterized by its elegant, slender silhouette and abundant decoration. The patinated bronze frame supports a rich array of faceted pendants, elongated drops, crystal stars, and garlands that form a truly sparkling cascade. The central stem, composed of molded and fluted crystal elements, lends verticality and elegance to the whole. Long cascades of crystal hang from the upper crown, enhancing the chandelier's height and decorative presence. Each arm holds a cut crystal bobeche, topped with a faux candle, and the pendants together create a remarkable play of light. The decorated brass cup, the star-shaped rosettes, and the delicate curves of the frame attest to the quality of French chandeliers of this period.
