Antique French Crystal Basket Chandelier Empire Ceiling Light Gilt Bronze Crown Flush Mount Rare Lighting (14x19)

DESCRIPTION
A remarkable antique French crystal basket chandelier featuring an elegant gilt bronze crown adorned with stylized acanthus leaves rising above a dense cascade of faceted crystal prisms. Richly detailed and exceptionally decorative, this rare fixture captures the grandeur of French Empire and Louis XVI-inspired design while maintaining a compact profile ideal for modern interiors.

Hundreds of hand-strung faceted crystal buttons form a sparkling basket beneath the ornate gilt frame, terminating in a dramatic ring of elongated crystal icicle spears surrounding a large central crystal ball drop. The combination of shimmering crystal discs, pointed prisms, and gilded bronze creates extraordinary light reflection and movement even when unlit.

At only 14 inches in height, this chandelier is especially suitable for low ceilings while still delivering the visual impact of a much larger fixture. The generous 19-inch diameter makes it a stunning choice for dining rooms, entryways, bedrooms, dressing rooms, powder rooms, and elegant hallways.

The fixture has been fitted with four new E27 sockets and is ready for installation. Its substantial weight, intricate crystal work, and rare French craftsmanship make it a standout piece for collectors and interior designers alike.
