Grand Crystal Tiered Lighting Antique French Empire Satellite Sconces

Vanessa Weber | Interior Design Expert

This magnificent 1900s-style French Empire chandelier is a true statement piece for grand entryways or formal dining rooms with soaring ceilings. Its intricate tiered crystal swags and ornate gold-toned metal banding demand a space with significant vertical volume. To ground such a brilliant fixture, pair it with dark walnut furniture or rich velvet upholstery in jewel tones. Balance the chandelier's complex texture by keeping the surrounding wall treatments and moldings relatively clean and understated. Regularly dust the faceted crystals with a soft microfiber cloth to ensure the light refracts beautifully across the room.
