Coolest Ever Antique White & Black Alabaster Pendant Light w. Satyr Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Exceptional French Alabaster Pendant Chandelier with Gilt Bronze Satyr Mounts, circa 1920. If you are looking for a unique pendant to grace your hallway or any other room or space that can do with a quality and style upgrade then this perfectly balanced light could be flying your way soon. With early 20th century lighting as one of our specialities, finding an excellent condition and highly attractive fixture always makes our day. Elevate your interior with this rare and exquisite French Art Deco alabaster pendant chandelier, dating from circa 1920. Masterfully carved from a single piece of veined alabaster, the bowl emits a soft, warm glow when lit, revealing dramatic natural patterns reminiscent of marble ink wash painting - every piece of stone uniquely formed by nature over millennia. Suspended by a finely cast gilt bronze chain, the chandelier is anchored by three striking mount points, each adorned with a highly detailed meaningful satyr or faun head - mythological figures that blend classical beauty with the mystique of antiquity. These ornate masks serve not just as decoration but as sculptural statements, imbuing the piece with a commanding presence. Whether installed in a neoclassical setting, a moody contemporary space, or a Parisian-inspired interior, this fixture balances opulence with organic texture, light with shadow. This one of a kind work of lighting art will be professionally wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and our price even includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x diameter: 32 x 22 inches. Diameter of the striking alabaster shade alone: 19.75 inches. Thanks to the chain we (or you) can also change the height to one that is perfect for you. *This chandelier is a sculptural lighting piece .. rare, refined, and radiating timeless elegance. A true collector’s item for lovers of early 20th-century design and natural materials.

Antique and Vintage Chandeliers and Pendant Lights for Sale: Shop Baccarat Chandeliers, Stilnovo Chandeliers and Other Lighting on 1stDibs

Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.

While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.

The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina, with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier. (Note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too.)

Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged.

Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes.

Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.

For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.

The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the natural world-inspired designs of the Art Nouveau era to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room.

With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs — shop a collection today that includes antique Art Deco chandeliers, Stilnovo chandeliers, Baccarat chandeliers and more.
