This chandelier is a variation on the \u201cquiver\u201d model, a very famous 18th-century design, likely by Louis Fran\u00e7ois Feuch\u00e8re.
\nFollowing the success of the original design, the quiver motif became a highly fashionable decorative motif. It can be found at the Ch\u00e2teau de Compi\u00e8gne (the Queen\u2019s Games Room, the King of Rome\u2019s Apartment), as well as at the Ch\u00e2teau de Fontainebleau and on a chandelier dating from 1785 at the Petit Trianon; the greatest names in the field (Pierre Gouthi\u00e8re, Pierre-Philippe Thomire, Simon Louis Boizot, etc.) created their own variations on the theme.
\nSurmounted by a wrought quiver, on the model of that of Pierre Gouthi\u00e8re dating from 1781 and preserved in the Louvre Museum, six twisted arms of light each carry five candles.
\nThe candle furthest from each arm rests on a garland of foliage supporting a small dish and a flower-bud-shaped candleholder. The other four candles are supported by stems of foliage, whose flowering tips conceal a candleholder.
\nBronze ribbons, modeled after Fran\u00e7ois R\u00e9mond\u2019s 1786 candelabra from the Palace of Versailles, connect the arms to the central quiver. Two tassels complete the ensemble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
