About the Item
Small size, early 1900s Gothic Revival light fixture.
In architecture, a chimera or grotesque is a fantastic or mythical figure used for decorative purposes, but in the 12th and 13th century (when most people were illiterate) they were first used for 'telling' mythical stories. Inspired by the novel of Victor Hugo, inspired by the many Gothic churches, but also by folklore and mythical stories, the more artistic designers in early 20th century France created some of the most decorative and meaningful antiques ever. This type of sculptural Gothic art is not for everyone, but if you have an eye for rare and meaningful antiques and if you appreciate the workmanship that was required to create this striking pendant then you could not wish for better value for money. If you are also lucky enough to have discovered who you are and what you like in life then you could be the perfect, next custodian for this antique light. Its relatively small size makes it ideal for usage in all kinds of living spaces and if you already have a place in mind for it then this work of lighting art could be flying your way soon. It will be wired for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and it will also take your regular American bulb.

View AllStunning Victorian Lighting Gothic Brass & Mouth Blown Art Glass Pendant Lantern
Located in Lisse, NL
Graceful and all handcrafted antique light fixture.
This early Arts & Crafts era pendant has an aesthetic beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age. It has the most pleasing to the eye shape and amber color and the handcrafted brass has a marvelous patina. In images 2 and 3 you can see that this unique light fixture started its life as (and still is) a candle lantern. Because of the Gothic quatrefoil details this may have been a sanctuary lamp at the entrance of a church or monastery. The beautifully patinated brass is all hand-crafted, but the unique art glass shade with its unique hand-etched, flowery patterns and amazing color is what makes this antique truly special. Have you also noticed the 'stand-alone' etched oak branches with acorns? They symbolize growth and unlimited potential since an acorn can grow into a huge oak tree that, by itself, can seed an entire forest. Both with the light switched on and off you could not wish for a more stylish, European antique fixture. It is of the kind that you certainly don't find anymore in this day and age. This ideal hallway or bedroom pendant light...
