Antique Montgolfière chandelier dating from between 1890 and 1910, during the Belle Époque
The chandelier is made of gilded bronze, chased with leaf, flower, and festoon decorations.
The central section consists of numerous chains of transparent faceted crystals, giving it its characteristic hot-air balloon shape.
The arms arranged around the crown end in flower-shaped frosted glass shades.
The design reflects the French taste of the period: the Rococo decorations of the Louis XV style are combined with the sinuous lines and nature-inspired motifs of Art Nouveau.
