Description

A small, elegant disc chandelier, suspended by four gilt bronze chains that connect the canopy to the disc-shaped bowl. The canopy is decorated with eight upright openwork palmette leaves at the top and a gilt bronze pinnacle in the shape of a pinecone at the bottom. The graceful, decorated bronze arms stretch outward from the disc in the shape of elegant swan’s necks, appearing to carry the candle sleeves in their beaks. The bottom of the chandelier terminates in a gilt bronze ball encircled with stylised palmette leaves and rosettes on the underside of the disc.
