This French chateau chandelier is a double-tiered hanging light fixture from the early 20th century, styled with fifteen lights arranged across scrolling arms. Constructed from gilded bronze and glass with a gold and clear colour palette, it includes a foliated tapering central column, leaf bobeche drip pans, and a trumpet leaf canopy, embellished overall with faceted crystal pendants and glass bead swags. The chandelier measures 71 cm high, 92 cm wide, and 92 cm deep, with an original chain and ceiling rose included in the design. It is fully rewired and PAT tested for modern use. Placed in a large room with low ceilings, this piece provides overhead illumination and serves as a decorative central fixture.

FAQs

French chandeliers of this tradition developed during the eighteenth century, featuring cast bronze frames, scrolling arms, and faceted crystal drops designed to refract candle or electric light throughout formal reception rooms.

These fixtures are constructed from heavy cast bronze or brass, which is often mercury-gilded or lacquered, combined with hand-cut lead crystal pendants and glass bead chains suspended from central metal rings.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased metalwork detailing, visible casting seams, hand-drilled crystal attachment holes, and irregular cut facets on the crystal drops compared to modern machine-made reproductions.

A large multi-light chandelier can serve as a primary focal point above a dining table, within an entryway foyer, or centered in a high-ceilinged living room to contrast with clean contemporary lines.

Dust crystal prisms using a lint-free microfibre cloth and clean periodically with a diluted alcohol solution; avoid harsh chemicals on the metal frame to prevent degradation of the original gilding or patination.
