Description from the seller
Chandelier made of brass/brass-gilted with matte shades and star and floral pattern, 1910s.
A beautiful, classic chandelier. It combines features of the late Victorian era, the Arts and Crafts movement, or the early transitional style Art Deco/Jugendstil, which were widespread in Europe (especially France, Belgium, Germany, and England) and the United States. It is richly adorned with curved shades, grapevine motifs, floral elements (central rosette), and ornate moldings – typical of high-quality lighting fixtures from the turn of the century up to the 1920s. Matte glass shades: opal or frosted glass domes with etched or carved patterns. The shades are not transparent, but milky-opal with a raised pattern (dots/teardrops + mostly star/diamond pattern).
Origin and period: Most likely France, 1910–1920.
Refined elegance – A luxurious chandelier
Materials: Brass, matte glass dome, matte glass shades
Age of the chandelier: Estimated around 1910
Number of shades: 3
Light source: 4 standard E27 sockets (not included)
Diameter over glass shades: approx. 80 cm
Diameter of the glass dome: approx. 25 cm
Total weight: approx. 5 kg
Height of the chandelier with ceiling rosette: approx. 57 cm
Condition: The chandelier is in very good condition. Functional test performed. The glass dome and all other shades are intact, with occasional small flea bites at the edges in the non-visible area on the inner rim of the dome.
Special features: A rare specimen in this style. A beautiful chandelier. Very decorative.
