Forged in iron, the round fixture features an elaborate arrangement of scrolling arms, intricate volutes, and beautifully detailed acanthus leaf motifs, creating a refined and sculptural silhouette.

The chandelier is supported by a decorative upper crown composed of gracefully curved iron scrolls, leading to a circular central frame embellished with gilt acanthus leaves. Eight sweeping arms extend outward, each terminating in a scalloped bobeche accented with raised gilt medallions and fitted with a decorative faux candle sleeve. Additional scrolling ironwork beneath the arms adds depth and movement to the composition, while a gilt finial completes the underside.

The fixture retains its original painted finish in a rich verdigris green palette, beautifully contrasted with gilt accents that highlight the intricate metalwork. The softly aged patina enhances its authentic French character and timeless appeal.

The antique chandelier is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and has been newly wired to US standards. Ideal for a breakfast room, dining area, or country French living space, this charming fixture combines rustic warmth with Parisian sophistication.

Included: A canopy, loop, and chain, each color-matched to the fixture.
