Chandelier with 12 crystal drops 792 – Lucien Gau – H 120 cm, ⌀ 86 cm – Made in France

A luminous architecture in the French tradition
With its twelve arms crowned by Grand Siècle-style candles and its abundance of crystal, the 792 chandelier by Lucien Gau embodies the magnificence of grand classical interiors. Impressive and majestic, yet always balanced, it is designed to be the radiant centerpiece of a large living room, reception hall, or entryway with noble architecture. Every detail evokes the grandeur of a refined lifestyle, elevated by French artisanal expertise.

A tiered cascade of crystal across three levels
Bohemian crystal drops are arranged vertically in a graceful, architectural flow. This luminous composition is accentuated by a faceted crystal ball suspended from the central finial, adding a final touch of brilliance — a sparkling signature. As light passes through the structure, the room comes alive with soft, ever-changing reflections.

Twelve arms for generous and harmonious illumination
Arranged in a circular pattern, the twelve arms each hold an E14 socket for candle-shaped bulbs. This configuration ensures powerful yet even lighting while preserving a soft visual ambiance ideal for elegant interiors. The finely crafted arms enhance the sculptural presence of the chandelier, recalling the grace of antique candelabras.

A spectacular format for grand spaces
Measuring 120 cm in height (110 cm without chain) and 86 cm in diameter, model 792 is perfectly suited for high ceilings and expansive volumes. It dominates the room without overwhelming it, offering vertical rhythm and a striking focal point. Despite its scale, it remains visually light thanks to the transparency of the crystal and the harmony of its design.

Lucien Gau’s excellence, where heritage meets distinction
Crafted with meticulous care in Lucien Gau’s French workshops, this chandelier is more than a lighting fixture — it’s a statement. It embodies the tradition of French bronze art, the precision of hand-applied finishes — antique gold, silver leaf, bronze or nickel — and a clear intention to blend classical luxury with modern elegance. An iconic piece, designed to illuminate the finest architectural spaces.
