Description from the seller

Chandelier / bronze candelabrum with 5 candles – Napoleon III / Rocaille style – 19th century
Magnificent antique bronze chandelier with five candle holders, presenting a particularly rich and elegant décor.

The sculpted central shaft extends into four curved arms arranged around a central elevated candle holder.

It is in good overall condition, with signs of use, oxidation and aging normal for its age.
