Antique Arts & Crafts Pendant Light w Stunning Large Carved Alabaster Shade 1920

About the Item

Unique and awesome, two-light alabaster pendant with hand carved oak leafs & acorns. Thanks to its unique design, aesthetic beauty, large size and superb condition this antique alabaster chandelier is bound to light up one of our client's days and evenings in the very near future. This rare Arts and Crafts design was all hand-crafted in Europe in the earliest years of the 1900s. Since it is hand carved out of one large and solid rock of alabaster, it must have taken the artisan(s) weeks rather than days to first design this work of beauty on paper and then carve it to perfection. This was all done by hand and what made carving this particular shade extra challenging were the oak leafs and acorns. Hand carving those detailed oak leafs and acorns was something that sculptors in those days were capable of, but that is not what the biggest challenge was when creating this work of beauty. If you look closely at those handcarved and stylishly colored details, you will see that they are wider than the shade itself. This means that for the purpose of adding those handcarved details, the shade for this chandelier would have been much thicker than normal. And for the carved details to really 'stick out' the entire rest of the surface of this shade would have to be carved away, whilst still keeping that surface perfectly rounded. It is because of that extremely time consuming, extra work, this alabaster chandelier would have always been extra desirable. Furthermore, the stunning and unique large shade is designed in such a way that the two bulbs stay completely out of sight, no matter from what distance you look at it. Thanks to its large size, its unique handcarved design and superb condition this alabaster chandelier from the heydays of the Arts and Crafts era will never fail impress. Another feature that makes this antique shade extra spectacular are the thick black veins. Both on and off these organically beautiful veins make this shade just perfect and combined with a bronzed chain & canopy you could hardly wish for a more stylish light to grace your living space. Thanks to the metal hook inside the height adjustable canopy, mounting this light tight to your ceiling is child's play. Mind you, this large, two-light pendant also is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the US as well. If you like this aesthetically marvelous antique chandelier as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Current height x diameter: 26 x 19 inches.

The good condition alabaster shade comes with a large number of natural veins and patches and they are among the most colorful you ever saw.

This too makes this six-light Arts and Crafts pendant extra special and an absolut joy to own and to look at.

  • Unique Arts & Crafts Alabaster Pendant w. Hand Carved Grape Bunches & Wine Leafs
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Top quality alabaster shade pendant with deeply hand carved grapevines all around. Thanks to its good size, its unique handcarved design and extremely good condition this alabaster chandelier is bound to light up both your days and evenings. What makes this particular alabaster pendant stand out from those that we have seen and sold over the years are both the great colors AND the stylish and all-handcarved grape bunches and wine leafs that are going all around the shade. If you look closely then you will realize that these grapevines are not only the most deeply carved you will have ever seen, they also have been hand-carved with a technique that is called "(we cannot find the name for it yet)". Most of us are unable to handcarve anything half-decent, but the artisan whom created this work-of-art-light-fixture took it to another level alltogether. Not only did he hand-carve beautifully detailed grapevines with grape bunches and wine leafs, he also managed to carve everything around it away whilst still keeping the stunning alabaster shade perfectly round. Using this particular technique of hand-carving on a flat surface would already be very difficult and time consuming, performing it on a round surface is something only the true master carvers would have been able accomplish. Red and pink & black and white are the main colors in this, one of a kind alabaster pendant and with the light off this work of art really is a joy to own and look at. However, with the light switched on this amazing shade comes even more to life and then this chandelier creates an atmosphere that is unlike anything we have ever seen. For this unique light to still be in this amazing condition after more than 100 years is not only an ode to the craftsmanship with which this light was handmade, it also shows how former owners have taken great care. We could shoot many more photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this alabaster stone shade and you could still not get a good idea of the unique beauty and class that this chandelier radiates. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant truly epitomizes that. You can (again) take our word for it. Have you also noticed the perfect bronze and bross suspension points? They too are in perfect condition. To us, this is the perfect antique pendant for a restaurant or winery, but it will also look perfect in a cosey entry hall or in a bedroom. Both with the light on and off its artistic beauty will never go unnoticed. The replacement, anthracite colored, metal chains and the replacement, anthracite colored and height adjustable brass canopy are like the icing on the cake of this masterfully crafted and truly stylish chandelier. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and thanks to the metal hook inside the height adjustable canopy, safely mounting this amazing chandelier tight to your ceiling can be done in just a few minutes. With perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days included in our fair price this unique antique...
