19th Century Franco-Russian Neoclassical Style Ormolu & Alabaster Chandelier
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A very fine and Rare 19th century Franco-Russian neoclassical revival style ormolu mounted white alabaster eight-light chandelier, possibly a design by Félix Chopin (French, 1813-1892). The ovoid carved alabaster plafonnier bowl, fitted with an ormolu decorative finial/rosette with a royal Fleur-de-lis design and four interior lights, surmounted with four-pairs of finely chased ormolu scrolled twin-light candelabra lights, each flanked on both sides with allegorical ormolu laurel branches and fitted with later frosted-glass flame shades; all suspended from a square ormolu canopy, centered with an acorn, by four ornamental gilt-bronze chains. Bearing spurious unknown and unverified stamped markings. Circa possibly Saint Petersburg, Russia, 1890.
Félix Chopin (1813-1892) was a French bronze designer, the son of the Parisian fondeur Julien Chopin. He moved to St. Petersburg in 1838. Around 1841 he acquired the workshop of Alexander Guérin were he mainly designed and manufactured lighting fixtures, including chandeliers, candelabras, table lamps and torcheres. Chopin designed a chandelier for The Vladimir Hall, in the Grand Kremlin Palace, in Moscow and also designed a chandelier of the Tsarevich's in the Peterhof Palace in 1850, another chandelier for the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg (1849) and the palace of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich (1855-86) (ibid p. 168). He favored the 'French Rococo' style which gave him the freedom to experiment with exuberant and whimsical designs for Russian designers and marketplace, as well as for the Russian nobility.
Chopin designed several art pieces with Eugene Lanceray...

Vintage, New and Antique Lanterns
Whether you’re in search of a functional fixture to help illuminate a room or just a minimalist ornamental touch, the choice of lighting is important. Selecting the perfect vintage, new or antique lanterns can transform an otherwise monotonous space in your home.
In the 1700s, lanterns became widely popular when accessibility broadened for whale oil, as fuel for lamps was one of its earliest uses. Lantern design evolved considerably during the mid- to late 19th century, when a powerful, adaptable fuel came into play: kerosene. Portable and immediately sought after, kerosene lamps were traditionally surrounded by a glass globe or tube that sat on a metal frame to protect the flame from spreading or extinguishing. (While reproductions abound, antique kerosene lanterns have since become collector's items.)
Later, in 1862, John H. Irwin created coil oil lamps, which were designed for coal oils as well as kerosene and lessened the risk of fire. They required plentiful oxygen to remain lit, and with refinements, the lamps could be used indoors. Lanterns increasingly came to be part of commercial spaces such as museums and theaters, and over time, lighting artisans worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they weren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.
Antiques inject a touch of classical chic into any space. With the right lantern, you could also deepen the impact of the collection of vases and vessels, sculptures or other decorative objects in a living room or dining room. It’s essential to find a balance between utility and aesthetics when choosing the perfect vintage–style lantern for your space, and the right lighting decisions can determine the underlying mood of a room as well as enhance the choices you’ve made for your home’s decor. While old-time charm is something to be cherished, there is lots to love in modern lanterns from today’s top furniture designers.
On 1stDibs, search by creator to find lanterns crafted by the likes of Woka Lamps, Barovier & Toso and Material Lust or browse the collection by style. From today’s standouts to mid-century modern classics to Art Deco–era innovations, find the best vintage, new or antique lantern for you now.
