Description from the seller
Magnificent ceiling light, plafonnier-style Imperial French, manufactured in the first half of the 20th century.
This classic piece stands out for its sturdy circular metal/golden bronze structure, topped by an elegant ornamental gallery in the shape of a crown with detailed palmettes and geometric reliefs.
The design is enriched by several concentric rows of pendant crystal facets. The outer layer features faceted blade-shaped crystals, which create a geometric cascading effect and give great visual lightness.
The lower section closes in a semicircular basket shape with crystal bead chains converging into a central bronze rosette.
It is a very old chandelier with natural patina of time. The light was turned on only to see the illuminated effect. It does not have a socket incorporated.
It will be a standout piece in any style or design. An elegant and sophisticated, timeless piece.
It will be very well packed but you must consider that during travel some pieces may come loose from their fittings and will have to be put back. It is the buyer's responsibility to put them back in place.
I do not ship outside Europe
It will be packed with great care and sent with tracking. The tracking will be updated on your CataWiki purchase page; please check regularly to avoid the package being returned to me, in which case the buyer will be responsible for the cost of any additional shipping."} }?Oops আটক?
