An exceptional late 19th century French chandelier, expertly crafted in the Empire style. The piece features a gilt brass frame adorned with finely cut diamond crystal drops, combining sculptural elegance with the sparkling brilliance characteristic of French decorative arts of the period. The chandelier’s ten gracefully curved arms support lights surrounded by cascading tear-drop crystal prisms, creating a radiant and opulent display of light and reflection. Its carefully balanced proportions and refined detailing make it both a functional light source and a striking sculptural centerpiece for grand interiors. Rewired for U.S. use, the chandelier requires no special bulbs and is ready for immediate display, adding historical sophistication and visual drama to dining rooms, foyers, or salons. Excellent working condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. Approximately 44 inches high × 32 inches in diameter (without hanging chain).
