Description from the seller

Bronze 5-candle chandelier / candélabre – Napoléon III Style / Rocaille – 19th century
Magnificent antique bronze five-candle chandelier, featuring a particularly rich and elegant decoration.
The chandelier rests on an imposing base with splayed feet, abundantly worked with volutes, shells, foliage and acanthus leaves.
The central sculpted shaft extends into four curved arms arranged around a central elevated candle-holder.
The overall design is inspired by Louis XV / Rocaille, highly appreciated during the Napoléon III period. The bronze work, the numerous reliefs, and the beautiful patina give this piece a particularly decorative character.
The chandelier has been lightly cleaned while preserving its old patina.
It is in good overall condition, with signs of wear, oxidation and aging normal for its antiquity.
Estimated era: second half of the 19th century
Estimated dating: circa 1860–1880
Style: Napoleon III / Louis XV-Rocaille inspiration
Material: bronze
Number of candle-holders: 5
Height: 51 cm
Weight: about 3 kg
Condition: good overall condition, beautiful old patina.
A very beautiful decorative piece from the 19th century, remarkable for its proportions, its weight and the richness of its sculpted decor.
