Bronze chandelier with old gold finish and cut crystal - Lucien Gau - Chandeliers

Price: 14 134.00 €

Qty:

Superb 6-light chandelier from the Restauration collection, which reproduces with great precision and fidelity the gilding, cherubs, cut crystal and chased bronze, the hallmarks of the sumptuous aesthetics of this early 19th century period. The model consists of a candleholder structure in bronze with an antique gold patina. The malleability of this metal allows the necessary precision to be achieved in the decoration of the cherubs, each of which holds two candles like large torches, making a total of six. Note the delicate foliage on the candlesticks, suspended from three gilded chains with diamond-shaped links, or the leaves on the sculpted cylinder to which the chains are attached, and finally the pointed bell, sculpted with fine vertical grooves. The most eye-catching element is the cut crystal ball at the centre of the chandelier, surrounded by a golden ring decorated with golden mouldings, and finally the seed, which completes the decoration of the crystal ball. The glass sphere is also fitted with a light.
As the heir to a Parisian bronze workshop that has been in business since the 19th century, Lucien Gau demonstrates year after year the exceptional craftsmanship that has been built up and handed down from generation to generation in the restoration, conservation and reproduction of lamps using techniques that are faithful to the period in which they were created.
A matching wall light can be seen under the reference 22050051.
Dimensions: 100cm total height, 90cm without chain, 46cm diameter.
The light source is provided by 7 E14 or equivalent LED 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.
