Artisan-crafted in France, its generous sixteen-light configuration and balanced neoclassical proportions give the chandelier a grand yet refined architectural presence.

The bronze structure features graceful scrolling arms, floral ornamentation, classical detailing, and the symmetry associated with Louis XVI design. A warm antique-gold finish highlights the sculptural bronze work and displays subtle vintage patina that adds depth and character.

Throughout the chandelier, faceted clear crystals and crystal beadwork catch and reflect the surrounding light, creating additional brilliance and movement. Delicate flower-shaped glass shades soften the illumination and complement the ornate bronze frame.

With 16 lighting points, the chandelier provides generous illumination and is particularly well suited to a formal dining room, grand entrance hall, salon, staircase, or substantial living space.
