Maison Jansen 8 Light Bronze & Crystal Chandelier

#A263XB. Circa 1935. Paris. Maison Jansen represented the quintessence of taste from shortly after its founding in the late 19th Century to well into the post-WWII era. The firm’s creations were sought out by the highest-level designers throughout its existence, and their creations graced the homes of royalty, the rich and famous, and leading style-setters worldwide. Its craftsmen had an amazing ability to combine styles of the past with modern trends, which is evident in this chandelier. It harks back to the 18th Century look of Louis XVI, yet gave a very modern look to the grand salons in Paris and fabulous living rooms of New York in the 1930’s & 40’s. The hand-cast gilt-bronze frame and bobeches are lavishly adorned with original hand-cut French crystal beads, bead ropes, kites, almonds, and florets. The crown, bobeches, and bottom basket echo that, decorated with attached crystal beads & florets. This fixture is ideal for a space where grand elegance and a sense of opulence is desired. Perfect for a foyer, living room or dining room. Don’t miss this chance to own a piece of Maison Jansen history. Ceiling cap, hanging hardware, and one foot of chain included.
