Place this elegant pair of antique light fixtures over a hallway, or in a den. Forged in Normandy France circa 1880, and round in shape, each chandelier built of solid wrought iron, features a circular crown decorated with multiple Fleur-de-Lys motifs throughout. The eight-light fixture has four double scrolled torchere arms with twisted bottom flame; each light is newly wired, embellished with decorative bobeches and dressed with decorative candle sleeve covers. The light also features the four original chains connected with a ring at the top. The heavy Gothic chandelier is in excellent condition and adorns the original verdigris patinated finish with gilt accents. The chandeliers will give a true "Old World" look to any traditional home. Included: canopy, loop, and chain, each color-matched to both fixtures.
The Fleur-de-Lis, also spelled Fleur-de-Lys, is a stylized lily (in French, fleur and lis mean 'flower' and 'lily' respectively) that is used as a decorative design or symbol. The Fleur-de-Lis has been used in the heraldry of numerous European nations, but is particularly associated with France, notably during its monarchical period. As France is a historically Catholic nation, the Fleur-de-Lis became "at one and the same time, religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic," especially in French heraldry. The Fleur-de-Lis has been used by French royalty and throughout history to represent Catholic saints of France. In particular, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph are often depicted with a lily.
