Additional Item Information - French 1940s Bronze and Cut Crystal Chandelier with Sculpted Fish Motifs, 7 Lights. A beautiful and unusual French chandelier dating from the 1940s, featuring an ornate bronze structure decorated with finely sculpted fish motifs and exquisite cut-crystal details. The chandelier features a magnificent central cut-crystal bowl with intricate diamond-pattern faceting, surrounded by elegant bronze arms adorned with decorative fish sculptures. The fish are beautifully detailed, with expressive eyes, textured scales, fins and curved tails, giving the piece a distinctive maritime-inspired character. The bronze framework is further embellished with cascading strands of faceted crystal beads and decorative bronze elements, creating an elegant interplay of light, texture and reflection.

The chandelier features seven candle-style light fittings, retaining its original white glass candle holders and decorative crystal bobeches. The combination of richly detailed bronze, sparkling cut crystal and original glass elements makes this a particularly characterful example of French decorative lighting from the 1940s. An exceptional statement piece, ideal for elegant dining rooms, traditional interiors, entrance halls or eclectic contemporary spaces. The chandelier has been newly rewired.
