A spectacular and heavy French chandelier from the late 19th century, cast in bronze with abundant Neoclassical decorative motifs imparting texture and variety to the six-light form. The scale and grandeur would indicate this fixture was likely designed for a lobby or similar environment where the quality of light is equally important as affecting a sense of power and authority. Swirled, blown glass diffusers protect candelabra-base bulbs rising from gently curved arms draped with acanthus leaf designs. From below one sees acanthus leaves in a radial formation around the bottom finial. Professionally cleaned and rewired for US electrical using UL-listed parts, ready to hang in your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Canopy: 5 ¼" diameter Canopy and chain: 48" H from top of chandelier
