Description

Napoleon III chandelier with eighteen lights arranged in a double order, France, third quarter of the 19th century. Structure in gilded bronze, characterized in the central shaft by the presence of parts in green glazed ceramic; the golden bronze is characterized by the alternation of highlighted portions with opaque portions, thus creating reflections that amplify its brightness. On a decorative level, eclecticism dominates, finding both elements of clear rococo taste, particularly in the moving structure composed of curls, leafy volutes and ornamental motifs with a calligraphic character, and elements derived from the classical world, such as floral festoons, rosettes, capitals and masks. At the apex, placed on a bed of sloping leaves, a pineapple. Bobeches in cut crystal, one of which has been replaced and others are broken. It has defects in the gilding.
