20th-Century French Wheat Sheaf Chandelier, Inspired by Coco Chanel
-
Description
A sculptural 20th-century French wheat sheaf chandelier inspired by the iconic style of Coco Chanel, who famously collected and decorated with gilded wheat motifs as symbols of prosperity and creativity. Crafted in gilt metal, the chandelier flourishes upward like a tied bouquet, with curling leaves and detailed wheat stalks radiating from the center. The five candle-style lights are nestled among the foliage, allowing the warm glow to reflect beautifully off the gold surfaces.
Both whimsical and refined, this chandelier captures the effortless elegance associated with mid-century French design. Its organic silhouette brings movement and softness, while the gilt finish adds a touch of glamour without overwhelming a room. Perfect for a dining area, entryway, dressing room, or any space in need of a sophisticated statement piece.
Wired for U.S. use and ready to install, this wheat sheaf chandelier offers that unmistakable blend of charm and chic Parisian spirit—timeless, stylish, and full of personality.
