About the Item
Antique Gilded Brass Chandelier with Grotesque Masks – Neo-Baroque / Neo-Renaissance – 19th / Early 20th Century
Description:
A rare and imposing antique chandelier in neo-Baroque / Neo-Renaissance style, made of gilded brass.
The most striking feature of this chandelier are the grotesque masks with horns, which adorn the bottom of the bowl. These masks are probably inspired by satyrs or fauns, mythical creatures from Greek and Roman antiquity. In classical art, satyrs were associated with nature, freedom, lust and the god Dionysus (Bacchus), while in Baroque and Neo-Renaissance art they were often used as protective and decorative elements. The expressive faces, detailed horns and playful shapes give this chandelier a unique and powerful character.
Light points: 6 arms with E14 bulb sockets
Dimensions:
Diameter: 50 cm (19.7 inches)
Height fixture: 72 cm (28.3 inches)
Total height (including suspension): 85 cm (33.5 inches)
The grotesque horned masks refer to the classical satyrs and fauns, mythical forest creatures that in ancient times symbolized the power of nature, zest for life and freedom. In Baroque and Renaissance art, such figures were often incorporated into architecture and decorative objects to create a sense of drama and dynamism. The horns and expressive faces give this chandelier a powerful appearance and make it a true work of art.
