Baccarat - Candelabrum bamboo (2) - Crystal

Exceptional pair of Baccarat cut crystal candelabras.
France, 20th century

Discover this sumptuous pair of Baccarat crystal girandoles (Baccarat pastille on the base of each piece) of rare elegance — refined decorative pieces that embody the traditional art of French lighting. A girandole is an ornamental candelabrum with multiple arms for light, historically used as a decorative lighting element and often made in pairs to balance and enhance the space. This type of decorative object appeared in France from the second half of the 17th century and reached its full expression in the 18th century within aristocratic interiors, where it multiplies and reflects light through its sparkling crystal pendeloques.


Each chandelier rests on a sculpted base and rises into a central shaft enhanced by a series of delicately curved arms, decorated with bobèches and faceted crystal pendants that capture and reflect light with exceptional brilliance. The multiple pendeloques and prisms create a sparkling, dynamic effect, enhancing the visual impact and the prestige aura of the pieces — a decorative principle that has made the reputation of historic chandeliers.


This type of light fixture, akin to a small hanging chandelier, was traditionally associated with decorative interiors, fireplaces, or sideboards in prestigious homes, sometimes accompanied by mirrors to further amplify the play of light.
