Description

This French Louis XV-style crystal chandelier is a hand-cast gilt bronze piece, featuring a combination of bronze for the body and arms, and brass for the bobeches, crafted in the style of Maison Jansen.

Maison Jansen, a renowned Parisian interior design firm founded in 1880 by Jean-Henri Jansen, gained international fame, serving a distinguished clientele across Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East.

The chandelier showcases an acanthus-shaped crown that flows elegantly down into a central column adorned with foliate designs. The three scroll arms lead to brass candle cups. Crystal beads are carefully set into small pierced holes on the brass bobeches, allowing light to shine through and make the beads sparkle beautifully when lit.

Further embellishment includes beaded crystal swags, accented by dainty bronze flowers. This exquisite fixture adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to any space.

Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=32 in. W=22 in. D=22 in. 30 lbs.
