1960s French Montgolfier Style Chandelier - 27¼" x 17¼"

This elegant Montgolfière-style (hot air balloon) chandelier from 1960s France evokes the grandeur of classical decorative arts while embracing the romanticism of mid-century design. Crafted in gilded brass, its graceful silhouette gently swells at the base and tapers toward the crown. The metalwork is richly embellished with a sculptural frieze depicting baskets, floral garlands, grape clusters, and expressive masks, each element finely cast with detail and charm. The frame is encased in a delicate cage of faceted glass beads that shimmer beautifully when lit, casting a warm, atmospheric glow. Small strands of beaded rope trace the metal structure, enhancing the chandelier’s decorative richness.

This interplay of texture and light captures the elegance of antique luxury while retaining the playful, romantic spirit of 1960s French design. Perfect as a statement piece in an entryway, dining room, or formal salon, this chandelier brings timeless opulence and a dreamy, theatrical presence to any interior.
