A very Important 18th century Louis XV period cage Chandelier

An authentic mid 18th century, ~ 1740, Louis XV period 16 arms cage chandelier. Bronze gilded frame attached with pendants in various forms, shapes and cutting, poignards, ball etc. All original in Bohemian glass, ?Verre de Boh?me?. Typical for that period for these chandeliers and very recognizable by the solarization of this glass into mainly magenta colors. In total 649 !!! glass elements were used. Its quite rare but this chandelier was never electrified. Authenticity above technical improvements. That?s why I have chosen for an inside lighting which will be always reversible without damaging the original structure. The French cage chandeliers are one of the most refined and desired ones. Magnificent examples can be found in Chateau de Versailles , ?Musee carnavalet? and multiple other chateaux in franc with baroque/ Rococo interiors.
