XL Antique Alabaster Chandelier / Pendant w. Bronze Ram Sculptures & Rose Shades
Located in Lisse, NL
Majestic antique pendant with a stunning, 20 inch alabaster shade and two sets of glass shades.
Thanks to its unique design, its impressive size and its truly excellent condition this six-light alabaster chandelier will light up both your days and evenings, both in summer and winter time. This antique light fixture could not be more original and it even comes with a set of three near-transparent glass roses shades AND a set of three amberish color glass roses shades (matching the alabaster). So you can always choose the type of glass rose shades that you think are best for the occasion, season etc. The superb condition, colorful, extra large and deep alabaster shade combined with the equally excellent glass roses are a match made in heaven. However, what takes this chandelier to the next level are the three large and gilt bronze ram sculptures at each of the three suspension points. May these meaningful symbols for determination, power and leadership inspire their new owner(s) to reach for the stars and beyond. The black veins combined with other color veins and patches in this natural mineral stone shade contrast even more beautiful when the light is switched on, because the already marvelous colorful alabaster then turns into an even warmer spectacle of colors. We could shoot a hundred photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this impressive chandelier. The unique patterns inside this hand carved shade are the work of mother nature herself and the light brings them out in their true glory. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant is all but an exception to that rule. You can, again, take our word for it. The original and heavy gilt bronze chain and the stunning and large, gilt bronze canopy are like the icing on the cake of this incredibly rich chandelier. If you have also noticed the double rose pattern on each of the gilt bronze shackles then you must agree that whomever had this chandelier made clearly spared no expenses. And to give you an even better idea of the quality, the gilt bronze canopy alone weighs over 11 pounds lbs.
To find this majestic chandelier in such excellent condition made our day, week and month and we are proud to be able to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. For our photos of this six-light chandelier we used three 75 watt bulbs inside the shade and one 60 watt bulb in each of the rose shades. This chandelier, however, will easily take three times 100 watts inside the shade and also easily 80 watts in each of the glass rose...

Sculpture the Tiger and the Bulldog, Aaron Hinojosa, 20th Century
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Magnificent sculpture named "the tiger with the bulldog" is a unique piece.
Mixed technique, particularity of its creator, mastering the recycling of all materials at hand, always with an ecological concern, conveying messages on what he lived or wanted to denounce in his time.
Period: 20th century
Dimensions: Height: 39cm x width: 25cm x depth: 16cm.
24 carat leaf gilding
This feline is not chosen by chance, the tiger is a strong symbol of vitality, unpredictability, strength but also of self-confidence.
It also strongly symbolizes ambition and justice.
On his head, like a cap, the face of the man with his eyes raised to the sky.
On his back, like a backpack, the bulldog's head.
The bulldog, with its massive, muscular, stocky body as well as a powerful jaw evokes strength. His strength, his tenacity, his willingness to fight stronger animals.
This sculpture certainly found its inspiration in England, or Aaron Hinojosa, the first country where he stayed after leaving Mexico.
