About the Item

This antique Russian Neoclassical chandelier features a triple-tiered gilt bronze frame adorned with cut crystal prisms. The structure is composed of a circular lower tier with eight arms, each fitted with candle-shaped holders. The arms extend from the central frame, which is embellished with neoclassical motifs, including finely cast figural masks. The second tier is suspended above, connected by decorative chains, and is similarly adorned with cascading crystal drops. The uppermost tier forms a crown-like structure with additional crystal prisms and scrolling elements. The chandelier’s frame showcases a gilded finish, highlighting the intricate detailing of its cast bronze elements. The arms are gracefully curved, supporting the lights, while the perimeter of the lower tier features an openwork gallery with classical embellishments. The central column, partially composed of cut crystal, serves as a visual focal point, with further faceted crystal strands connecting the different sections. The crown top, adorned with scrolling foliate motifs and crystal pendants, completes the composition. Reflecting the refined aesthetics of Russian Neoclassicism, this chandelier was crafted to represent the period when elaborate lighting fixtures were a hallmark of aristocratic interiors. The combination of gilt bronze and cut crystal was favored for its ability to enhance candlelight, producing a shimmering effect throughout a space. The inclusion of figural masks and classical motifs aligns with decorative trends of the era, reinforcing the chandelier’s connection to fine craftsmanship and stylistic traditions.
