Gilded Bronze And Crystal Chandelier – Decorated With Pears, Apples, And Grape Clusters

An elegant and refined chandelier in gilded bronze and crystal, dating from the second half of the 19th century, richly adorned with an exceptional naturalistic design featuring pears, apples, and bunches of grapes made of blown crystal and tinted in shades of amethyst, combined with numerous cut crystal pendants.

The gilded bronze frame, with its elegant curves, supports eight light arms and 12 interior light points, arranged around a large central crystal shaft. The entire piece is lavishly adorned with fruits, leaves, and pendants that brilliantly capture the light, creating a particularly spectacular decorative effect.

This model, highly representative of the prestigious works of the Napoleon III era, captivates with the richness of its ornamentation and the quality of its craftsmanship. The polychrome crystal fruits, which are particularly sought after, lend this chandelier a luxurious character and great originality.
