Description from the seller

This splendid chandelier, crafted by the prestigious F.B.A.I. manufactory (Fabbrica Bronzi Artistici Italia), is an authentic masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship.

Features and Style

The chandelier, made of gilded brass and hand-painted porcelain, is a magnificent example of Rococo style. Its richly detailed decorations, inspired by French and Italian eighteenth-century taste, make it an extraordinarily beautiful piece. The sinuous lines, gilded scrolls, and cobalt finishes with painted floral inserts evoke the luxury and refinement typical of the Louis XV era.

The porcelain portions feature a vibrant cobalt blue color, enriched by delicate floral bouquets framed by gilded borders. The finely hand-worked, raised brass completes the elegance of the whole, giving a sense of opulence and majesty.
