French Chandeliers

EMBRACE EXQUISITE STYLE WITH ANTIQUE FRENCH CHANDELIERS

Ranging from ornate crystal fixtures to modernist mobiles, vintage French chandeliers span the stylistic spectrum. Whether you lean more traditionalist, maximalist, modernist, or minimalist, vintage French chandeliers are ideal for providing distinctive character in a room. For a room with Art Deco appeal, try installing a plaster vintage French chandelier from the 1940s. Typically consisting of an inverted, scalloped rim plaster bowl that is suspended by a plaster cone, these French chandeliers were produced primarily during WWII to conserve metal for the war efforts. Today, these chandeliers are ideal for evoking a playful a trompe l’oeil feel in any space, be it an entry or a bedroom. For a classic look, employ a French crystal chandelier. Use a grand French empire style in a formal dining room or entryway where you crave a dramatic statement of the highest order. For less palatial interiors, try a simple brass and glass antique French crystal chandelier with pendant drop crystals. Whether used in a breakfast nook, powder room, or child’s bedroom, nothing evokes glamour quite like a modest antique French crystal chandelier. Favor something more unexpected? Look for antique French brass chandeliers with porcelain bobeches and colored glass crystals. The look is similar to a French tole chandelier, yet feels a bit more substantial. While on the topic of tole chandeliers, nothing tops a tole chandelier for a nursery or child’s room. Try a classic tole hot air balloon chandelier in lieu of a mobile in a playroom or nursery, or a gilt tole wheat sheaf chandelier in a girl’s room that’s in need of a sophisticated but playful moment.
