A Charles X Ormolu Chandelier

“I HAVE THE SIMPLEST TASTES. 
I am always satisfied with the best.” 
- Oscar Wilde

I  was drawn to this chandelier 
at an art auction house
in NYC. The craftsmanship is superb.

With an anthemion-cast corona and chains and leat-cast and reeded arms with a pin-cone pendant finial.
