Sumptuous chandelier 12 lights louis XVI style - Model marie antoinette - bronze and crystal - Attributed to maison baccarat circa 1890 - Sumptuous chandelier in the louis XVI style called "marie-antoinette" in bronze finely chiseled in a beautiful matte and burnished gilding, illuminated by eight arms and four lights in its center. Very close in its form to a model present in the large dining room of the château du petit trianon by marie-antoinette. It is rod-shaped with a central shaft consisting of a metal rod coated with crystal cut with many bulges. Model with a crown supported by four octagon descents. Opal candle sheaths. Splendid decoration of cut crystal composed of many plates, descents and garlands of octagons and pearls, rosettes, large faceted crystals, florets and four daggers on the periphery. In perfect structural and surface condition, very beautiful patina. Not stamped. The 8 e14 socket light arms are working as well as the 4 e27 sockets in the center. Vintage power line. With hundreds of pieces of crystal cut and polished individually, an antique crystal chandelier is often considered a work of art. The meticulous craftsmanship invested in deliberately shaping the crystal allows the material to capture and reflect the myriad colors that make up white light. The dazzling brilliance and reflective qualities of light were originally used to enhance and diffuse the soft light of candles that were once used as a light source. Size: Total height of the chandelier structure (without the chain): 110 cm. Descent of central tassel at the bottom: 17 cm. That is 127 cm for the total height of the chandelier. Diameter: 64 cm. Diameter of the central crown: 33 cm. Length of the chain: 45 cm.
