Description from the seller

Armenian copper chandelier with a square base – Ottoman Empire, 19th century

Turned and moulded copper chandelier, resting on a square base with a gadrooned decoration.
The baluster shaft bears an inscription carved in Armenian on the central body, probably a donor mark or a short votive phrase.

Characteristic production of Armenian workshops in Anatolia during the Ottoman era, intended for religious use (church or chapel) or Christian domestic use.

The binet is carved directly from the solid.
Beautiful old patina with verdigris oxidations and wear traces consistent with age.

No apparent restoration. Wear and small knocks visible, with no structural fragility.

An interesting object for its architected form and the presence of the Armenian inscription, bearing witness to the Christian community context under Ottoman rule.

The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement the presentation. They allow assessing its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any bid.

The object will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.

Happy bidding
