Baccarat Crystal Prismic Pattern Centerpiece and 4-Light Candelabra Set

Description

An unusual 19th century French Baccarat Prismic pattern crystal centerpiece and four-light dore bronze candelabra set. The centerpiece bowl is French Baccarat crystal, the finest crystal manufacturer in the world. The outside of the bowl is decorated in a prismic crystal lattice pattern which is slightly sharp at each point, demonstrating the fine craftsmanship of this piece. The base is fitted with a gorgeous inverted crystal cone of the same pattern, which shows the immense detail that went into producing this rare piece.  The crystal is mounted on the finest dore bronze mounts which have been finely cast, hand-chased, and hand-chiseled with exceptional detail. Each candelabra arm is expertly detailed and has a beautiful swirling acanthus leaf arm which moves upwards into a leaf-like bobeche and finely decorated socket. The piece sits on a four-legged square base. Each leg is designed as a curved acanthus leaf and finished in two-tone matted and burnished dore bronze. France, circa 1860.
