Antique French Chandelier in Bronze and Alabaster Napoleon III Second Empire
 
The grand turned alabaster marble bowl sits in a bronze ring decorated with ribbons and floral rosettes, creating a classic and impressive design.
 
Hung with bronze chains suspended from the central ceiling rose, the chandelier is decorated with acanthus leaves.
 
The chandelier has been sympathetically restored to highlight the magnificent bronze colour.
 
The light is in full working order. New wiring and bayonet bulb holders have been fitted to take three candle light bulbs (supplied). As with all electrical lighting we recommend having it tested by an approved electrician.
 
The two white patches inside the bowl appear to consolidate the natural veins that may have been evident when the bowl was originally made. The bowl has been checked over and is in solid condition.
 
Height (from ceiling rose to base): 48 cm
Diameter: 43 cm
 
Circa: 1870
