Mid-19th Century French Gilt Bronze and Cut Crystal Eight-Arm Chandelier
An exceptional mid-19th century French chandelier, finely crafted in gilt bronze ormolu and adorned with exquisite diamond-cut crystals. This elegant eight-arm chandelier reflects the grandeur and precision of antique French craftsmanship, where bronze casting and crystal artistry were perfected into timeless decorative forms. The gilt bronze frame features beautifully engraved exterior details, each arm gracefully curved and richly ornamented, supporting cascades of faceted crystal drops that catch and refract the light with dazzling brilliance. The combination of the warm gilded metal and the shimmering crystal creates a luminous and regal presence, embodying the refinement of 19th century French design. This chandelier is both functional and sculptural — a perfect statement piece for grand interiors, dining rooms, or entry halls, where it will command attention while harmonizing effortlessly with classic or contemporary decor. Excellent antique condition, rewired for U.S. electrical use. Minor wear consistent with age and use. Approximately 36 inches high (from base to top of the brass frame) × 32 inches in diameter. Height may vary depending on hanging chain length.
