Crystal Hot Air Balloon Chandelier Louis XVI - Directory.

Large and magnificent balloon chandelier in crystal and silver-plated metal, Louis XVI - Directory period. It is composed of an iron frame embellished with chains of crystal almonds, rectangular cabochons on the perimeter and faceted Myrzas in pendants. The lighting is done by six binets on removable branches in cast bronze plated with silver (original plating). Very fashionable at the end of the 18th century, this chandelier, which gives off a lot of charm, remains very ethereal thanks to its subtle composition of various very luminous crystals. No gaps, tiny little chips. French work from the end of the 18th century. This chandelier is sold without electrification. Attention, the photos make the crystals a little whitish when they are perfectly shiny.
