Rare 'Hérons' Chandelier by Albert Cheuret, circa 1925, France

Description
On offer for your consideration we have rare large “Hérons” chandelier made in the 1920's by French artist and sculptor Albert Cheuret.

His style is characterized by a fabulous naturalistic ingenuity drawn from a bestial repertoire and exotic flora, often depicting birds (herons in this case) while superimposing a geometric decor typical of the Art Deco style on some of his creations and you can see it in this beautiful chandelier.
