Antique French Empire Style Bronze Chandelier

1900 - 1920
Description

An elegant French Empire style chandelier dating from the early 20th Century. It is made of gilt bronze with three arms arching away from a central rod with scrolling floral motifs and decorative hanging chains. The arms support three frilled glass lampshades.

It is in good condition for its age and displays well. There are signs of age and use but no major damages and nothing detrimental. It has been lightly cleaned to retain its wonderful patina. The three glass shades are not all identical so some are likely replacements but they all suit the piece well.

It has been re-wired to modern standards and is ready to install. We always recommend that the light is checked and installed by a professional electrician.

Approximate Measurements:

Height : 30" / 76cm

Width : 20" / 51cm

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French Empire style lighting emerged during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte and is characterized by neoclassical symmetry, cast bronze or brass metalwork, and motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

These chandeliers were traditionally constructed from cast bronze or brass, often finished with gilt or patinated treatments, and fitted with frosted, cut, or molded glass shades.

Authentic period chandeliers feature heavy cast metal components, hand-finished chasing, natural surface oxidisation, and historical wiring configurations or gas fittings subsequently converted for electricity.

A French Empire chandelier functions as a focal illumination point in dining rooms, foyers, or formal living spaces, providing textural contrast when placed against clean modern architectural lines.

Dust the metalwork regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical polishes that strip original patination. Glass shades should be removed and gently washed in warm water with mild soap.
