Chandelier with Vine Leaves

Susse frères & Octave Georges Lelièvre · Signed

France, Circa 1900

An antique Belle Époque chandelier in patinated and gilt bronze, alabaster, and cut crystal, signed by the Parisian art foundry Susse frères and crafted circa 1900 after a model by the ornamental sculptor Octave Georges Lelièvre. This collaboration between one of the most prestigious bronze-casting houses and a talented designer gave rise to some of the finest lighting fixtures of the era. Featuring six lights with dual illumination, this chandelier centers around an internally lit veined alabaster bowl that diffuses a soft, warm glow. It is supported by arcading and surmounted by a band of rectangular white alabaster plaques, alternating with scrolling light arms accented with acanthus leaves. The suspension is particularly refined: double chains in the lower section transition into vine branches laden with foliage and laurel wreaths in the upper section, joining at a coronet adorned with florets. Faceted cut-crystal prisms and drops add their shimmering reflections. Combining Neoclassical rigor with the botanical poetry of the Belle Époque, this signed chandelier will bring light and distinction to a drawing room, dining room, or grand entrance hall.
