Description

  • Line Vautrin
  • Chandelier
  • talosel, mirrored glass and metal wire

Provenance

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Condition

Overall in good condition. This piece was recently professionally restored to stabilize the talosel circular panels at the top of the work, which had warped as a result of age. These discs with discoloration based on the age of the talosel as well as some heat-related damage, which appear darker in color. This lot is sold without a lighting agent. The talosel framed discs are attached by wire, showing losses, cracks and chips scattered throughout as seen in the catalogue illustration. Surface dirt. The central mirror in this example is a convex mirror. This is a very rare example of chandelier form.
