About the Item

Rare bronze chandelier with as many as eight arms with stunning alabaster shades. The time and effort that was put into making impressive and top quality lamps in the beginning of the 20th century is amazing. This rare and all handcrafted chandelier is a great example of such an amazing work of lighting art from that era. The beautifully crafted figural body of this chandelier, all the arms and all the 'cups' holding the sockets and shades are made of cast bronze in relief. Just look at the soldier, the businessman drinking his beer, the beautiful female and all the impressive and rich scrolling details around them. Before the body with all these figures could have been cast in liquid bronze, all these figures first would have had to been hand-sculpted into another material (often wood). From that other material molds would have to be made first and those molds would have then been filled with liquid bronze. After the bronze was cooled and set, the cast would have been removed from the mold, polished and patinated. This would have to be done for all the arms and 'socket holders' as well and finally all the parts would have to be drilled and put together with nuts and bolts. I won't go into the process of how the perfectly shaped alabaster shades and all the antique sockets were made, because you will understand this was not done in a single day either. What of course is most important now is the fact that this rare chandelier is a wonderful antique to come home to. It will definitely light up your days and evenings and it will never fail to impress you or anyone visiting. One of the eight beautifully shaped shades has at some point been restored (well) and the overall condition of this pendant is simply wonderful. This antique too looks much better in real life than it does in pictures. This chandelier will be completely rewired for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well. Mind you, our fair price includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Height x diameter: 29.1 x 31.1 inches. For picture taking purposes we have shortened the chain by 23 inches so this chandelier can actually be 52 inches in height. 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'.
