Description from the seller
Vintage Empire Crystal Basket Chandelier – French Brass & Faceted Crystal Bag Lamp, Antique Style Ceiling Light
Elegant Empire-style crystal basket chandelier, crafted with a warm brass frame and adorned with numerous faceted crystal drops and prisms that beautifully refract the light.
The chandelier features the classic Empire “bag” or “basket” silhouette, where cascading strands of crystals descend from the upper crown and gather into a refined crystal bowl. The lower section is decorated with large geometric crystal prisms, creating a rich play of reflections and sparkle when illuminated., through the 3 E14 fittings.
A finely detailed ornamental brass ring supports the crystal basket, giving the piece both elegance and architectural balance. When lit, the crystals disperse light in a spectacular way, producing warm highlights and shimmering reflections.
The chandelier shows light signs of age consistent with its vintage character while remaining in excellent working condition as per the photos.
This type of chandelier is particularly popular for: Parisian apartments, French-inspired interiors, Boutique hotels, Classic or transitional homes
Its compact yet luxurious proportions make it ideal for hallways, bedrooms, stairwells, dressing rooms, or elegant entryways.
