AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Heart-stirring of this superb antique balloon-style chandelier with timeless romantic charm. Late 19th century - early 20th century.
Composed of a frosted glass basin delicately cut into an 8-point star at its base, it is encircled by a gilded bronze band adorned with delicate ribbon knots.
It is elevated by its glass pearl chains and its small bronze floral motifs carved in relief. An elegant and very luminous piece that will diffuse a soft, moody light into your interior.

Probable period: Late 19th century (1880–1900) or early 20th century (Belle Époque, around 1900–1910).
Style: Inspired by Louis XVI / Directoire (marked by the taste for pearl garlands, symmetrical ribbon knots, and bronze floral bell motifs).
This type of suspension was highly prized in fine bourgeois interiors of the Third Republic, where people liked to revisit the great 18th‑century French classics by associating early electric lighting or adapting gas models from the previous era.

Height: 50 cm
Original assembly.

All pendants will be dismantled for transport. You would need to reattach them on arrival.
They are just pins, easily reassembleable.
Antique object; shows some signs of wear and age, of course.

Shipping to France via Mondial Relay
No shipping outside Europe, please.
