Description from the seller
Antique Forged Iron Chandelier with Mythological Figures – Late 19th Century
Important forged iron chandelier dating from the late 1800s, entirely handmade and assembled with original nails, without welds. Coming from a large Genoese historic villa, it represents a rare example of artisanal mastery in wrought iron work.
The structure is characterized by a imposing central twisted stem, enriched with shaped decorative elements and culminating in an upper corona with forged volutes. The main body presents a complex geometric framework with triangular reinforcements, also nailed, which confer solidity and structural harmony.
A distinctive element are the mythological sculpted figures in iron, depicting winged creatures with draconic features, modeled in the round and arranged around the central shaft. The details of the wings, heads and legs highlight the manual craftsmanship and the ancient construction technique.
The horizontal arms, also twisted, support four light points with iron candlesticks and decorative candles. The surface shows a dark patina in keeping with the period, with signs of time that attest to authenticity and historical charm.
A piece of great dramatic impact, ideal for historic interiors, vintage homes or formal spaces.
