Antique French Brass and Porcelain Floral Decorated Six-Arm Chandelier
An exquisite 19th century French chandelier crafted in gilt brass and adorned with hand-painted porcelain floral decorations. This elegant six-arm fixture exemplifies the artistry and charm of late 19th century French design, where metalwork and porcelain were harmoniously combined to achieve a sense of refined romanticism. The chandelier features beautifully pressed and hammered gilt brass elements, richly detailed with scrolling grapevine and leaf motifs. Interwoven among the gilt tole structure are clusters of delicately modeled porcelain flowers in a variety of soft, natural tones, each one individually crafted and painted by hand. The result is a composition that feels both sculptural and organic, celebrating nature through fine craftsmanship. Very few chandeliers of this particular style and composition were produced, making this piece especially rare. Its warm gilt patina and colorful floral accents make it a versatile decorative statement — equally captivating in a traditional interior or as a charming contrast in a contemporary space. Excellent antique condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. Approximately it stands 24 inches high × 24 inches wide.
