A Magnificent Late 19th Century Gilt Bronze Fifteen
Light Chandelier, After the Model by Caffiéri.
The chandelier is centered by a baluster shaped open
central stem, surmounted by scrolling foliage, above
three putti, one holding a bird, one with a bow and
arrow and the third blowing a horn. Below are three
further putti, each holding a turret, two holding a
flower wreath, and flanked on all sides by scrolling
foliage, above nine foliate branches, each with a conforming
nozzle. The pierced base of the chandelier houses three
doves. This chandelier is based on a model made by Jacques
Caffiéri between 1750 and 1755. After hanging
at the Château d'Anet, a French Royal Residence,
it was transferred to the Biblotèque Mazarine,
where it remains today. Item
