Mid Century French Wheatsheaf Metal Pendant

This striking piece is a wheat sheaf chandelier, a classic design element from the mid-20th century, crafted in France and made from gilt metal. With 8 arms and candlestick type bulb holders. The style is famously associated with Coco Chanel, who used a wheat sheaf table at her iconic 31 Rue Cambon apartment in Paris. In French culture, wheat (le blé) is a symbol of prosperity and good luck.
