This early 20th-century six-arm Rococo-style gilt bronze and crystal chandelier features porcelain plaques inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French Rococo painter. The Rococo style is celebrated for its ornate elements, intricate curves, and nature-inspired motifs.
The chandelier's cast bronze body is adorned with porcelain plaques and crystal prisms in various shapes and sizes. Encrusted crystal beads at the bottom enhance illumination and beauty. When lit, the faceted crystals create a brilliant display, complementing the exquisite bronze detailing.
This chandelier blends seamlessly with another similar chandelier, which, while not identical, mirrors its aesthetic charm. This chandelier is made of gilt bronze and brass, offering a luxurious and luminous appearance due to the thin layer of gold gilding, known as ormolu. In contrast, the other chandelier is not gilt, featuring a natural, darker bronze patina. Together, they pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain plaques. All three pieces embody Rococo design elements, infusing any space with timeless elegance and romance.
Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=31 in. W=23.5 in. D=23.5 in. 30 lbs.

Rewired to US electrical standards, it takes six candelabra-sized lights, incandescent or LED on the arms, and two optional smaller lights inside the bottom bowl. This fixture requires a canopy and chain which is not included. Three feet of wire at the top can be adjusted to the preferred height. One of the crystal spikes is different (see images). Faint traces of white scratches on the porcelain plaques indicate they are decals applied on top of the glaze (see images). Decals began to be used on porcelain in the late 19th century. This technique gained popularity in the early 20th century. Entirely made of bronze, except for the pierced bottom bowl, which is gilt brass. Due to its delicate nature, white glove shipping is required. Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=31 in. W=23.5 in. D=23.5 in. 30 lbs.
