Early 20th Century French Empire Style Beaded Crystal Chandelier
About the Item
This French Empire-style chandelier from circa 1930 is crafted from brass and crystal. Featuring the traditional ‘tent and basket’ design, it has a domed lower body adorned with cascading chains of faceted crystal beads. The crown molding, designed to resemble a frond, supports additional crystal chains. A thick central brass band, known as the meridian, is adorned with bronze appliques of Marianne rose bouquet motifs. This band defines the bottom of the canopy and leads to the chandelier's domed belly, further decorated with crystal droplets and culminating in a round-faceted crystal diamond stud. The motifs on the meridian pay homage to Marianne, a powerful symbol of the French Republic representing liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Early 20th Century French Rococo Revival Five Arm Bronze and Crystal Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century five-arm Rococo-style bronze and crystal chandelier features porcelain plaques inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French Rococo painter. The Rococo style is celebrated for its ornate elements, intricate curves, and nature-inspired motifs.
The chandelier's cast bronze body is adorned with porcelain plaques and crystal prisms in various shapes and sizes. Encrusted crystal beads at the bottom enhance illumination and beauty. When lit, the faceted crystals create a brilliant display, complementing the exquisite bronze detailing.
This chandelier blends seamlessly with another similar chandelier, which, while not identical, mirrors its aesthetic charm. The other chandelier, made of gilt bronze and brass, complements this one beautifully, despite lacking gilding. Gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, has been gilded with a thin layer of gold, giving it a more luxurious and luminous appearance than plain bronze, which retains its natural, darker patina. They also pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
