Rare Arts & Crafts Pendant Light w Hand-Blown Art Glass and Bronze Mounts, c1900
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique Art Nouveau ceiling fixture with 10 hand-blown glass panels. An exquisite and rare Art Nouveau pendant light, fully embodying the organic elegance and craftsmanship of the Jugendstil movement. This exceptional fixture is not just lighting .. it’s a sculptural artwork that brings period authenticity and timeless beauty into any space. The chandelier features a bronze and brass frame with a rich, aged patina. It holds 10 gracefully curved, hand-blown art glass panels, each delicately opalescent with soft hints of pale green and white. These panels are encased in a flowing, nature-inspired framework typical of early 20th-century Art Nouveau design. Suspended from four robust chains, the bowl-shaped shade is topped with a highly detailed crown-like canopy that echoes the flowing, botanical forms seen in fine European lighting of the era. When lit, the glass panels emit a warm, diffused glow that enhances the fixture's sculptural lines and highlights its organic elegance (see photos with light on). The fixture will be professionally rewired and is fully functional, ready for installation. A unique conversation piece, ideal for entryways, bedrooms, or atmospheric corners in both traditional and modern interiors. This unique pendant / antique light fixture will bring the kind of pure and handcrafted class and beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age.

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Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches.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.
