Artisan-crafted from solid bronze and richly dressed with clear crystal beadwork, it is designed to create a dramatic focal point in a grand entrance hall, dining room, salon or other interior with high ceilings.
The chandelier has a classical basket-form structure with six elegantly curved bronze arms. The solid bronze frame has a warm antique-gold finish with an attractive aged patina that emphasizes the detailed casting.
A particularly distinctive feature is the set of three dark bronze sculptural putti figures. Each putto is positioned between two of the six arms, creating a total of three putti arranged evenly around the chandelier. Their contrasting dark bronze finish adds depth to the composition and gives the chandelier an especially decorative and architectural character.
Hundreds of faceted clear crystal beads are arranged in cascading garlands throughout the frame. When illuminated, the crystals catch and reflect the light, producing an elegant sparkle while maintaining the balanced symmetry characteristic of Louis XVI design.
