Its rounded hand-painted ceramic body, decorated with stylized flowers and foliage, is held within an ornate gilt-metal framework, with six scrolling arms supporting candle-style lights above fluted pink opaline cups. Slender gilt suspension rods rise above, dressed with swags of faceted beads, while further garlands, rosettes, prisms and a faceted ball pendant enrich the lower section. This mix of gilt metal, colored ceramic, opaline and cut glass is characteristic of richly decorated French lighting of the period. Some of the abundant glass pendants may be later additions or replacements.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe chandelier has been carefully restored and rewired in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence by a specialist in historic lighting, while preserving its aged gilt finish and decorative elements.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe rose-pink ceramic, opaline cups, gilt metal and abundance of glass drops give the chandelier an unapologetically exuberant character. Rich, theatrical and deliberately over-the-top, its abundance of color, sparkle and ornament is exactly what gives the chandelier its appeal. It would make a strong statement in a bedroom, dressing room or dining space, where its dramatic character can take center stage. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eMust be installed in accordance with local electrical requirements.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 43¼\" high x 19¾\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 110cm high x 50cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54828741689682,"sku":"25958","price":5995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC08946-Modifier.jpg?v=1790257100","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/exuberant-french-napoleon-iii-style-six-light-chandelier-431-4-x-193-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
