Pineapple Chandelier in Cut Glass and Gilded Brass with Six Light Arms and Pampi

This chandelier is organized around a central shaft adorned with a molded-cut glass pineapple with diamond points, topped with two leaf-crowned rings embellished with pear-shaped pendants. Six long, sinuous brass arms cascade down to rise towards the faux candle lights, each highlighted by a collar of cut leaves and faceted crystal pears. The brass chain and ceiling canopy complete the ensemble. The pineapple motif, a symbol of hospitality cherished in the neoclassical repertoire, enjoyed great popularity in lighting during the 1960s, particularly among Parisian houses in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré district, whose brass and crystal productions are now sought after. Condition report: Overall good condition. Brass with a homogeneous golden patina, glass pineapple and pendants in good condition, possible minor losses. Electricity checked by an electrician. A charming chandelier for an entryway, bedroom, or dining room.
