Qty:

Finesse and elegance characterise this Louis XVI chandelier in solid bronze, patinated in antique gold and decorated with six arms in double volutes supporting lights. The delicacy of its arms and the shape of its body, slightly widened and simply decorated, give an enormous sense of purity. The reference to nature, unique to the Louis XVI style, is evident in the acanthus leaves that decorate the first half of each of the arms, and that complete the lower part of the chandelier with a bud surmounted by leaves and crowned by a very original decoration of seasoned foliage. The delicate pearl necklaces that embellish the bowls and the decorations at the ends of the chandelier reinforce this sense of delicacy and finesse. The flutes of the body, the bobeches and the cabochon of the chain are accentuated by the old gold finish, which enhances their relief. The chain itself is beautifully crafted, confirming the extreme minuteness of the pure craftsmanship of this work of art. The reasonable size of this chandelier allows it to be considered in homes with a ceiling height of three metres or more. Matching this chandelier, a wall light with two candleholders is available under the reference 16060043.
Dimensions: height with chain 95 cm, height without chain 75 cm, diameter 60 cm.
Light source: six standard E14 frosted bulbs, to be purchased separately.

Lucien Gau

Sublime classic style lighting, solid bronze and bohemian crystal

Founded in 1934, Lucien Gau is one of France's most prestigious lighting manufacturers. In particular, Lucien Gau designs and manufactures an exceptional range of chandeliers, sconces and candlesticks in the Dutch, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Directory, Empire and Restoration styles. The manufacture, of exceptional quality, is carried out entirely in France. The craftsmen employed by Lucien Gau work, finish, assemble and patinate solid bronze using the most traditional methods, inherited from a long tradition of excellence. The bronzes are cast in the traditional way: for each model, the craftsmen model the parts of a lamp, a reference copy. For each copy of this model, a sand mould is made into which the cast bronze is poured. The mould, which is broken when it is removed, is used only once. This process gives a unique finesse and allows great freedom of design. Once cooled and removed from the mould, each piece undergoes a long process of finishing: deburring, turning, chiseling fine ornamental motifs, polishing and patinating are all done by hand and require a unique know-how. The most commonly used patinas are old gold, matt tin, bright gold and antique. Lucien Gau's collections include luminaires of great elegance and balanced forms. Whether a masterful chandelier or a discreet appliqué, each model has the same manufacturing quality. Lucien Gau has illuminated many exceptional buildings, castles, ministries and palaces all over the world. Really Beautiful is proud to present such a collection of luminaires of exemplary design and quality.
