Antique Gilt Bronze & Glass Gothic Revival Pendant Light with Chimera Sculptures

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. Mind you, our price for this unique & meaningful antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x diameter: 21.5 x 7.7 inches. Will come with matching canopy and chain. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
