Empire/directoire style solid bronze chandelier lucien gau in cut crystal & cherubs

Superb 6-light chandelier in bronze with a patinated old gold finish, the malleability of this metal allows the precision necessary to shape the decorations of cherubs who each hold two lights in their hands like large torches, 6 in total. Note the delicate foliage decorations which dot the bobeches of the chandelier suspended by three golden chains whose links are in the shape of a diamond, and finally the pointed bell pavilion molded with fine vertical grooves. The element that particularly attracts attention is the cut crystal ball placed in the center of the chandelier and surrounded by a golden ring decorated with golden moldings, and finally the seed which completes the covering of the crystal sphere. The glass ball is also equipped with a light. An essential heir to a parisian bronze maker in operation since the 19th century, the lucien gau house demonstrates its exceptional artisanal know-how year after year. *** condition: luster in its juice *** ***dimensions: h: 100 cm - diameter 50 cm ***.
