Large botanical-themed chandelier in chased and gilded bronze – Late 19th century
A large, naturalist-style chandelier from the late 19th century, crafted in chased and gilded bronze. Its lush, structured composition draws inspiration from the natural world, mimicking an abundant bouquet of intricate foliage, wheat-like stalks, scrolling branches, and blossoms—some in full bloom, others still in bud—which conceal the light sources.
The finely chased, veined leaves and floral corollas lend the piece striking depth and a poetic charm, characteristic of the historicist and naturalist tastes prevalent during the late Victorian era or the *Belle Époque*.
