An exceptional French gilt bronze chandelier, circa 1900, combining a refined Louis XVI Revival structure with rare sculptural Art Nouveau glass shades.The elegant neoclassical frame is finely cast, with beautifully aged gilding and balanced proportions. The gracefully extending arms create a harmonious and architectural composition, typical of high-quality French craftsmanship.The standout feature is the remarkable suite of glass shades, each formed as a flowing, organic leaf. Their sculptural quality is rarely encountered and creates a striking contrast with the structured bronze framework, adding movement and softness to the overall design.When illuminated, the chandelier produces a warm, atmospheric glow, with the glass diffusing the light and the gilt bronze reflecting it beautifully. The result is a refined and highly decorative presence.Examples retaining a complete set of original sculptural glass shades are increasingly rare on the market. All shades are original and form a cohesive ensemble.Presented in very good antique condition, with a beautiful patina and minor wear consistent with age. Structurally sound and fitted with period-appropriate bayonet sockets; rewiring to modern standards is recommended.Total height including chain: 140 cm.A second matching example is available upon request.All glass shades are original and form a complete and cohesive ensemblePieces of this quality and completeness are increasingly difficult to find on the market.Origin: FranceDate: circa 1900Style: Louis XVI Revival / NeoclassicalMaterial: Gilt bronze, glassLighting: 7 lights (6 arms + 1 central)Socket type: BayonetHeight (total): 140 cm (55.1 in)Chandelier height (fixture): 107 cm (42.1 in)Diameter: 83 cm (32.7 in)Canopy diameter: 19.5 cm (7.7 in)Ceiling plate (at chain): 15 cm (5.9 in)Suitable for both US and European electrical standardsVery good antique condition with minor wear consistent with age and use.The gilt bronze retains a beautiful, warm patina with light surface wear and subtle variations to the gilding, enhancing the depth and character of the piece.
