A magnificent antique French Louis XVI style ormolu 6-light figural chandelier of exquisite craftsmanship embellished with neoclassical figures of ladies with arms holding candles, by Alfred Beurdeley, after a model by Francois Remond (late 1700s-early 1800s). This beautiful ormolu chandelier has been marvelously cast and hand-chiseled with two-tone burnished and Matt mercury gold. Each beautiful lady is depicted as being almost “life-like” with an exceptional amount of detail placed throughout their gorgeous faces and ravishingly detailed hair. The arms, top and base are adorned with acanthus leaves and blossoming flower buds with a beautiful finial affixed at the bottom. Signed with a script, “BY”, inside the bottom bowl. France, circa 1870.
