DescriptionDescription: Louis XIV's France was in many ways a model for Sweden around 1700. This was especially true of interior decoration and luxury items. The chandelier is made in Sweden. It is a copy based on French models known from imported objects and drawings. The small mask ornaments are typical of French court art. Similar chandeliers in silver have belonged to Swedish noble families, but this one is made of silvered bronze.
