Description from the seller
Title
Large antique gilded bronze chandelier with two matching wall sconces – 19th / early 20th century
⸻
Description
An ensemble of antique lighting fixtures consisting of a central chandelier and two matching wall sconces, in a classic style, richly decorated, made of bronze (or a bronze-type copper alloy).
The chandelier features a heavy, finely chased structure, with curved arms adorned with decorative motifs, typical of high-quality productions from the late 19th century / early 20th century.
The construction features thick molded elements, assembled by interlocking joints and old welds, bearing witness to meticulous foundry work.
The entire fixture weighs a substantial amount—about 15 kg for the chandelier—confirming that it is built in solid metal and not a lightweight decorative piece.
The two wall sconces, each weighing about 1 kg, are perfectly matched to the chandelier both in style and in patina.
The electrical system is functional (operational at the time of dismantling), with spark plug–type sockets.
The decorative candles are made of cardboard/fiber (the original material commonly used in antique light fixtures); some show signs of wear, visible in the close-up photos, with no impact on the overall aesthetics or on functionality.
The chandelier is supplied with additional original chain links/elements, removed in the past to adjust the height. These elements allow re-adjusting the height as needed and are included in the lot ( Current height of the chandelier: approximately 73 cm.
Additional chain links are supplied, allowing the height to be increased by about 35 cm.)
Matter
Bronze (or copper alloy of the bronze type).
Attribution based on observation, weight, and manufacturing technique. No scientific tests have been conducted.
State
Good overall condition considering its age.
Uniform aged patina.
Signs of wear and small signs of age visible in the photos, consistent with an antique object.
