Glass and Bronze Chandelier, 19th Century

About the Item

Thirty lights chandelier. Bronze and glass, late 19th century. It is necessary to emphasize the variety of forms and the quality of the colorless glass. The profiles of some beads (tears, polygons, pinnacles) are found both in Bohemian and other French works and in most of the Royal Glass and Crystal Factory of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia, Spain) because of the great popularity of these shapes. The stars or flowers are rather scarce in the preserved examples. The mastery in size is appreciated in the profiles and in the fineness of the modeling of the axis. While the decorative elements of bronze clearly show influences of Neoclassicism, the work of glass reminds us of the so-called "Maria Teresa lamps", works based on those commissioned by the Empress Maria Teresa for their coronation in the factories of the Bohemia area of Czech Republic in 1743. This typology spread rapidly throughout Europe, varying designs, and serving as an example in major glass factories to even today. Although it differs clearly from the works that were made in Murano (Italy), the chandelier follows a tradition that has its roots in Bohemia and its continuation in France, where as much attention was paid to the gilded bronze as to the glass and whose examples it seems Something more the spider. Similar lamps can still be found in very outstanding residences such as the Palacio de Fernán Núñez (Madrid), Palacio de Viana (Córdoba), National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid), Palacio Paz (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Louvre Museum , etc. Size: 100 x 100 x 130 cms.
