c. 1880 French Gilt Bronze & Crystal Chandelier – 10-Light with Half-Moon Canopy
A unique 19th century French chandelier, this 10-light fixture features a lyrical gilt bronze frame with a dramatic middle tier of twisted, curled extrusions draped in elegant crystal swags. The composition is both fluid and architectural, blending ornamental movement with refined detailing.
The upper tier showcases a rare and unusual canopy design—a halo of overarching half-moons, each suspending crystal drops that shimmer with light. A true statement piece, ideal for collectors of French antique lighting, gilt bronze chandeliers, or late 19th century crystal fixtures with sculptural presence.
