This is an excellent 19th Century Russian brass candlestick chandelier, 6-light, rewired. Very fine quality, heavy solid brass, six light, having scrolled and swirling acanthus leaves on the stem, issuing 6 similarly decorated arms, with urn-form nozzles and bobeches. The Louis XV / XVI style or Louis Quinze is a style of architecture and decorative arts which appeared during the reign of Louis XV. From 1710 until about 1730, a period known as the Régence (Regency in England) was largely an extension of the Louis XIV style of his great-grandfather and predecessor, Louis XIV. From about 1730 until about 1750, it became more original, decorative and exuberant, in what was known as the Rocaille style, under the influence of the King's mistress, Madame de Pompadour. It marked the beginning of the European Rococo movement. From 1750 until the King's death in 1774, it became more sober, ordered, and began to show the influences of neoclassicism. Interior decoration during the reign of Louis XV fell into two periods; the first especially featured rocaille ornament, sculpted sinuous curves and counter-curves, often in floral and vegetative patterns. This large brass chandelier is in good overall condition. Nice patina exhibited throughout, one arm appears cracked at juncture with main body shaft, and some apparent repairs. Measures 30" x 30" x 48"
