Eight-light chandelier, ca. 1710, French, Paris, Chased bronze and gilt, iron, Height: 32 3/8 in. ( cm);, Metalwork-Bronze, Richly ornamented with satyr masks and female busts, this type of early eighteenth-century chandelier has often been associated with the work of André-Charles Boulle. Granted the title of cabinetmaker and sculptor to Louis XIV in 1672, Boulle not only produced case furniture decorated with tortoiseshell and brass, examples of which are shown in this gallery, but also worked in gilt bronze
