A refined late 19th-century French Louis XVI Revival chandelier in nickel-plated brass and hand-cut crystal. This elegant fixture exemplifies the neoclassical aesthetic of the Louis XVI style — graceful symmetry, refined ornament, and luminous clarity — interpreted with the sophisticated techniques and materials of the Belle Époque period.
The chandelier features a delicate birdcage form with nine candle-form lights, each resting on ribbed crystal bobèches and surrounded by finely faceted crystal prisms. The frame’s gentle scrolling arms and architectural detailing in nickel-plated brass create a subtle contrast between brilliance and restraint, while a cut-glass baluster stem and diamond-patterned crystal ball complete the composition.
An exceptional example of late 19th-century French craftsmanship, newly rewired and ready for installation. This fixture requires a canopy and chain, which is not included.
Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=42 in. W=20 in. D=20 in. 35 lbs.

Rewired with U/L components, has a 22-gauge electrical wire since there is no room to fit a larger wire in the lower base, just above the finial. It uses five base-size lights in the center and nine candelabra-size lights in the outer arms. Three feet of wire at the top can be adjusted to the preferred length. This fixture requires a canopy and chain, which is not included. Minor restorations consistent with rewiring: small, color-matched epoxy infills are present where the electrical wiring was re-routed through the arms (see image 11). These areas are discreet and professionally finished. One of the slender arm extensions shows an old, stabilized repair (see image 8). Requires white glove shipping. Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=42 in. W=20 in. D=20 in. 35 lbs.
