AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent chandelier "Montgolfiere" with a cascade of crystals - Empire / Louis-Philippe style. Gilded brass patina. France, mid-20th century (1950s-70s).
"A touch of timeless elegance, directly from the charm of French residences...."
Suspended chandelier with classical French-inspired design, characterized by a refined cage-like structure and a multi-level arrangement enriched by elegant arches in gilded metal.
The chandelier is richly adorned by a cascade of crystal pendants and high-quality faceted crystal pendants, which capture and refract light with extraordinary brilliance, creating those warm and evocative play of reflections typical of Parisian salons of the era.
Structure in brass with natural antique patina, which attests to its authenticity and lived charm. The upper rose decorated with a floral motif and the engraved details on the central band recall the aesthetic canons of high French craftsmanship.
Features 8 external light points (4 on the outer ring and 4 internal with universal E14 bulb socket).
In good vintage condition with normal signs of wear and age, with the original patina intact that enhances its character. The crystals are present and abundant.
A wiring inspection is advised (even if in good condition) by a professional before installation.
Please carefully view the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description, to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings.
Careful packaging and tracked shipping.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
