GILT-BRONZE CHANDELIER IN THE NAPOLEON III STYLE FRANCE, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A monumental French gilt-bronze chandelier executed in the Napoleon III style, embodying the refined eclecticism of the Second Empire. The composition is structured around a powerful central stem lavishly adorned with rocaille scrolls, acanthus leaves and sculptural ornamentation. From the body extend elegantly curved arms forming ten light points.Each arm terminates in a frosted glass shade shaped as an open lily flower. The softness of the glass contrasts with the dynamic brilliance of the gilt bronze, achieving a refined decorative balance. The central section is enriched with sculptural winged griffins, traditional symbols of strength and protection. The lower register is further embellished with figures of putti, reinforcing the ceremonial character of the ensemble.The upper section is crowned by a vivid cobalt-blue sphere decorated with applied gilt stars and an ornamental band. Above rises a radiant sunburst finial, lending the composition an allegorical and triumphal presence. Electrified and fully functional.Marks: None observed.Dimensions: Height 123 cm; diameter 88 cm.Condition: Good. Even gilding with minor signs of age and natural patina. No structural deformations or losses.Provenance: France, private collection.
