Eighteen-Light Chandelier
France, Circa 1880
An antique eighteen-light chandelier in gilt bronze and cut crystal, attributed to the Baccarat crystal works, France, circa 1880. A grand statement piece from the late 19th century, it unites the warmth of gilt bronze with the brilliance of faceted crystal. A central stem in blown and moulded crystal, punctuated by balusters, descends to a spherical gilt-bronze core. From here spring eighteen chased scrolling candle arms arranged across three tiers, each terminating in a scalloped crystal bobeche. The upper corona, adorned with star rosettes, suspends chains of octagonal crystal drops. Below, garlands and pendeloques in pear, point, and prism cuts create a luminous cascade of light, guiding the eye down to the substantial cut-crystal sphere terminating the composition. Measuring 107 cm in height by 70 cm in diameter, this antique Baccarat chandelier will gracefully enhance a drawing room, dining room, or grand entrance hall. It is electrified.
