Each chandelier … Read more A rare matching pair of 1980s French Louis XVI-style chandeliers in solid bronze with a dramatic charcoal patina. Each chandelier is richly detailed with sculpted deer head motifs, classical scrolling arms, and a refined two-tier lighting arrangement, creating an exceptional decorative statement for a dining room, grand hallway, foyer, boutique, or château-inspired interior.
Handcrafted in France, the chandeliers combine the symmetry and elegance of Louis XVI design with a more sculptural, hunting-lodge-inspired character. Each bronze frame is adorned with four finely modeled deer heads, giving the fixtures an unusual architectural presence and making them especially striking when installed as a pair.
The deep charcoal finish emphasizes the relief and texture of the cast bronze while allowing subtle warm bronze undertones to show through. This dark, elegant patina gives the chandeliers a sophisticated appearance that works beautifully in both traditional interiors and more contemporary spaces needing a dramatic focal point.
Each chandelier offers ten light points in a balanced two-level design: six candle-style lights arranged around the central body and four outer lights extending from the sculptural arms. Both fixtures have been professionally rewired and are suitable for modern use in the USA. E14 bulbs are required and not included.
The pair can be displayed together in a large symmetrical space or installed separately to create a cohesive lighting scheme across adjoining rooms.
