20th-Century French Wrought Iron Chandelier with Scrollwork Arms
-
Description
This 20th-century French wrought iron chandelier presents a substantial, hand-forged design built around a circular iron ring. Eight scroll-form arms extend outward in a consistent rhythm, each supporting candle-style lights with shaped bobeches. The iron surface shows the irregular texture typical of traditional forging, with a dark, naturally aged patina that emphasizes the craftsmanship and weight of the material. Vertical supports rise toward a simple top collar, introducing elongated curves that counterbalance the horizontal ring and give the piece a measured architectural presence.
The chandelier offers broad, even illumination while maintaining the direct, utilitarian character associated with earlier French provincial lighting. Its scale makes it suitable for larger rooms—dining areas, great rooms, or entry halls—where a strong, historically grounded fixture is appropriate. The combination of scrollwork and structural clarity allows it to function both as a lighting source and as a focal point that brings texture and form without excessive ornamentation.
This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
