HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Chandelier Duvaux echoes the grandeur of the 18th-century French artisanship exhibited in The Met’s pair of elaborate chandeliers, which feature intricate acanthus leaves, seedpods, and crystal finials. Though their frames date to the late 18th century, the earlier crystal pendants in their design indicate that they may have been worked on by the dealer Lazare Duvaux (French, ca. 1703–1758), who not only sold, shipped and installed chandeliers, but also took them apart for cleaning or repairs.
