https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/barrois-antiquesThis chandelier is organised around a large central tole pineapple with a body cross-hatched in relief, surmounted by a plume of falling leaves that reaches the gadrooned ceiling cup. Six scroll arms escape from it, dressed with long tapering leaves of cut tole, and carry faux-candle cups set on serrated cups. The whole is treated in a cream patina shaded with silver of the finest effect.
The pineapple motif, a symbol of hospitality, and the naturalistic work of the cut tole are characteristic of Italian workshops of the 1970s, which revisited the Neoclassical decorative repertoire with fantasy, in a spirit close to the productions of Maison Charles or the Florentine tole-makers.
Condition report: Good general condition. Original cream and silvered patina, possible slight decorative wear inherent to painted tole. Electricity checked by an electrician. A light fitting of character, charming in a kitchen, a conservatory or a guest bedroom.
