Item Description
19th French bronze chandelier of palatial proportions and exquisite quality.
This magnificent 30-light chandelier has a pierced domed corona supported by five beautifully cast solid bronze male caryatid supports, above scrolled acanthus tiers each with two branches with dished foliate drip pans and baluster nozzles, a spreading body joined at the base by a pierced guilloche ring hung with lambrequinned drapery and issuing double then triple branches, supported by winged maidens with single branches to a lower ring.
Originally purchased by the Pennington Mellor family for Villa Francon, Biarritz, France, then to their London home, Southside House, Wimbledon.
For a similar chandelier, presumably by the same maker, Knebworth House the great banqueting hall, bought by Robert, First Earl of Lytton, British Ambassador in Paris (1887-91).
