Artisan-crafted in France, the matching fixtures have compact proportions while retaining a strong sculptural presence.

Each chandelier is cast from substantial bronze and arranged around a balanced, symmetrical form inspired by 18th-century Louis XVI lighting. Finely modelled female mask motifs and classical decorative details add character to the structure, while the restrained proportions keep the overall design elegant.

The bronze has developed a sophisticated charcoal-toned patina, with subtle warmer bronze undertones visible across the raised areas. This darker finish emphasizes the relief and gives the pair a distinctive appearance that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Each chandelier contains three interior lighting points, providing warm ambient illumination while keeping the light sources discreetly integrated within the structure.
