- 19th Century Antique Gothic Revival, Gilt Bronze Six Candle Church ChandelierLocated in Lisse, NLStylish and glorious Gothic church candle pendant with a great look and feel.

The number of Gothic elements in this antique candle chandelier, combined with their beautiful shapes and patina make this church relic an absolute joy to own and look at.
