Object Description

A finely proportioned Empire gilt bronze and crystal-cut nine light tent and bag Chandelier. With an anthemion cast corona suspending chains of graduated almond shaped crystal-cut drops to a gilt bronze gallery issuing nine candle arms. The gallery is finely chased and surmounted by finely cast and chased flowerhead wreaths encompassing a crystal-cut drop. The bottom crystal chains terminate in a facetted acorn shaped finial. A six-light electrical fitting has been added to the inside of the gallery, otherwise the nine candle nozzles take candles.
