This beautiful solid bronze chandelier from the Louis XVI period (late 18th century) has been patinated in antique gold to bring out all the qualities of its decoration. The precision of the details of the acanthus leaves on the spiral arms or those decorating the central element, the relief of the grooves of the bobeches and the body of the lamp or the fine pearl chains decorating the basins make this small chandelier a real gem. With a chain-less height of 60 cm, it can be placed under ceilings from 2.70 cm high. Rigorously drawn, it takes up the classic themes of the Louis XVI style, combining a natural evocation in the form of leaves and buds with a geometric shape in the contoured cut of the arms, the squares that connect the arms to the bowls and the exemplary quality of the chain links, whose geometry and perfection are reminiscent of certain French-style basins. This chandelier is also available with six lights, see reference 16060038.
Dimensions: height including chain: 85 cm, height without chain: 60 cm, diameter: 46 cm.
Light source: five standard E14 screw bulbs, preferably in frosted flame glass, 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.
