About the Item

Unique and all handcrafted, practical size antique chandelier. Some chances you only get once in your life and that is exactly what we thought when we first saw this unique Arts & Crafts pendant. In the earliest years of the 1900s creating decorative items for use in homes, chalets and restaurants in the South of Germany was still very much 'en vogue'. This art of hand-carving items was handed down generation after generation and therefor besides professionals, a large number of non-professionals too would love to do this as a pastime. In this day and age most men cannot even drive a screw in the wall, simply because 'we' were raised behind computers and everything 'we' use in our homes is cheaper to replace than to repair. This marvelous light fixture, to us, also is reminiscent of what life used to be like before electricity, radio, television etc. People still had to create a good atmosphere themselves. They would do so in all kinds of ways and making music together would be one of them. Judging from the smiles on their faces these 'old guys' really are enjoying themselves. We also love the way in which they are dressed. Clearly in those days wearing clothes to keep you warm was more important than how you looked. No brands, no nonsense, just be yourself and that is good enough. These fun loving guys are sitting on a brick wall and we believe they are sitting with their backs against some sort of large stove or oven. The hand carved and hand painted arms of this unique, Arts and Crafts era pendant come with beautifully colored flowers and a red heart at the end of each arm as well. Because of those elements this pendant certainly also has a 'romantic flavour' to it. Even the 4 socket sleeves of this 5-light pendant are the original, handcrafted wooden ones. The beautifully designed, extra light shade at the bottom (with the brass and porcelain socket inside) as well as the perfectly matching canopy are like the icing on the cake of this work of (folk) art chandelier. As you can see in our photos this solid wooden pendant also has the most beautiful patina. In real life it is even more warm and wonderful than in our photos. You can, again, take our word for it. We will rewire this unique chandelier to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over. We can think of many types of spaces where this light will look great, but we are certain that whomever likes this light as much as we do will know exactly where it should be mounted. By the way, thanks to the metal hook on top of the canopy, mounting this pendant could not be easier. If you like this one of a kind and truly decorative light as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that our price also includes perfect packing and even worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x diameter: 31.5 x 19.7 inches. Height without the chain and canopy: 13.4 inches. Diameter of the perfect canopy: 5.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.
