Description
A pair of 19th-century French Louis XVI style ormolu and crystal 5-lights girandoles exude elegance and sophistication in their design.
These girandoles, having been electrified, showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of the Louis XVI style, characterized by ornate ormolu (gilt bronze) and the use of crystal elements. The ormolu, known for its intricate detailing and gilded finish, would adorn the frame, while the crystal components, likely prisms and pendants, would enhance the refractive and reflective qualities of light.
As electrification was not originally part of their design, this adaptation likely aimed to preserve and repurpose these stunning girandoles for modern use, ensuring their continued functionality while maintaining their ornate aesthetic appeal. These pieces would have served as opulent lighting fixtures, casting a dazzling array of light reflections and adding a touch of grandeur to their environment, characteristic of the lavish style associated with the Louis XVI period.
France, Circa 1890
