Early 20th Century Louis XVI Style 10-light Crystal And Gilt Bronze Chandelier

Corona decorated with flowerheads and pendeloques, the lower central gilt bronze ring with foliage relief supporting five ornamental vases issuing each two scrolled candle arms, a smaller gilt bronze ring at the upper part of the chandelier hung with flowerheads. The corona and the two bronze rings connected by chains of crystal drops, the inner part of the base ring with five additional small gilt bronze electrical sockets adorned with small crystal flowers that give extra shine to the crystal decoration. The center of the chandelier decorated with a long crsytal drop chain hung from a gilt bronze pine cone at the center of the corona, terminating in a faceted crystal ball. The whole hang with facetted drops, icicle prisms and tassels - creating altogether a lightness in design. Excellent chasing, beautiful gilding.
