AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent antique hanging chandelier from the late 19th or early 20th century, directly inspired by the old oil lamps in Napoleonic III / Victorian style. This fixture of great elegance combines noble materials and meticulous finishes, ideal for bringing a historical and warm touch to a classic or contemporary interior.
Characteristics and Materials:
• Structure: Richly chased gilt brass with superb volute motifs and Rocaille-style decorations on the lateral arms.
• Shade: Large blown white opaline glass dome, diffusing a soft and homogeneous light.
• Decorative element: Beautiful lower insert in cobalt blue / midnight blue enamelled ceramic, accented by a brass fleur-de-lis.
• Suspension: Decorative brass link chains from the original.
Lot Condition:
• Opaline: Excellent cosmetic condition, no cracks, no major chips to report.
• Brass: Very beautiful original patina with slight traces of natural oxidation that attest to its authenticity.
• Electrical: To be checked/restored (the system is old, plan to update to standards according to the intended use, but it remains functional with the existing cables).
Estimated dimensions: 90 cm in height / 28 cm in width
• Diameter of the opaline: 38 cm
