Impressive French Gilt-Bronze Twenty-Four-Light Chandelier, ca. 1900, the vasiform standard set with three tiers of candle arms holding the foliate-form candle cups, interspersed with various delicately molded leaves and flowers, now electrified, h. 33", dia. 31-1/2".

In overall very good condition. The surface exhibits scattered rubbing and losses to the gilt lacquer throughout, hence revealing areas of normal tarnish/oxidation. The elements appear to be both brass and bronze. The cast elements the latter, the tubular arms and thinner foliage pieces probably executed in brass. Some losses of floral elements. A few of the candles are very slightly askew rather than perfectly perpendicular to the floor. Provenance: From the home of a private collector in the South.
