Louis-Philippe Gilt-Brass Basket-Form Eight-Light Chandelier, second quarter 19th century, the scroll-molded ring set with four scrolled candle branches, alternating with candle sockets raised above "sun" motifs flanked by kneeling angels, the scrolled corona set with brass medallions molded with doves, strung with strands of drops and hung with prisms, not electrified, h. 45-1/4", w. 20".

Light nicks and oxidation, but no visible losses. Wear to the gilding throughout commensurate with age and use. The brass banding, corona and angel reliefs are slightly bent in some parts, as to be expected given the thinness of the metal.
