Crafted in France circa 1920, the oblong iron fixture is composed of graceful scrolling elements centered around a circular openwork clock face. Roman numerals encircle ornate adjustable hands, while sculpted acanthus leaves and curling tendrils enrich the composition.

Six sweeping arms extend across the lower section, each supporting a candle-style light fitted with a decorative sleeve and simple bobeche. The fixture retains its original verdigris-painted finish, enhanced by gilt accents and a beautifully aged patina that emphasizes the hand-worked details. The clock face is decorative and does not contain a working movement.

The antique chandelier is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. All six lights have been newly wired to meet US standards. A canopy, hanging loop, and the original double chain are included, each carefully color-matched to the fixture. Its generous proportions and distinctive silhouette embody an authentic Country French aesthetic.

Dimensions: 42.5" W x 18" D x 43" H. See less
