We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve antique fixtures longer. Antique fixtures must be adapted to modern homes. This chandelier requires a canopy and chain that are not included. Please check with your electrician or contractor for additional specifics on installing antique lighting. The chandelier frame and crystals are in good condition. There are unnoticeable spots of wear on the gilt. The frame is bronze but the extensions holding crystal pendeloques are thin brass that can snap off if the chandelier is handled improperly. We will be happy to provide additional images upon request. less

Produced … more This French neoclassical-style chandelier embodies a centuries-long western cultural movement that emerged from artists’ fascination with classical Greco-Roman antiquity. Produced circa 1920, this five-bulb candelabra-style piece continues a tradition that had its cultural center in Paris in the Napoleonic era. The hand-cast bronze frame features expressive scrollwork along the body as well as an elegantly curving silhouette. From the more delicate brass extensions dangle a jewel-like assortment of crystal pendeloques, beautifully cut to accentuate the glowing beauty of the chandelier when lit. At two feet in height, its slight scale makes this piece especially well-suited to shorter ceilings that require a lighter decorative touch. Smaller rooms with otherwise tall ceilings may additionally complement this chandelier's moderate proportions. Carefully adapted to suit a modern home, lovers of neoclassical design will enjoy this fixture's historied yet timeless craftsmanship in any small area: study, dining area, bedroom, or walk-in closet. less
