About the Item

Ceiling lamp with thirty lights. Bronze, glass. 19th century. There may be some faults in glass. A chandelier or ceiling lamp with a total of thirty lights and their corresponding glass saucers, reminiscent of the days when candles were used, and a gilt-bronze structure with arms decorated with scrolls and curved lines, on which clear glass pieces are placed along the central axis. A series of chains with polygonal beads, rectangular pieces, and others with particular shapes, upturned points, etc. adorn the different levels on which the lamp is structured. The variety of shapes and the quality of the colorless glass are worth highlighting. The profiles of some beads (teardrops, polygons, pendants) are found in both Bohemian and French works, and in most from the Royal Glass and Crystal Factory of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia, Spain) due to their great popularity. Stars or florets are considerably rarer in the surviving examples, and, according to experts, are more often found in the French school (and in the Spanish school due to the latter's influence). The mastery of the carving is evident in the profiles and the fine modeling of the shaft. The decorative bronze elements clearly show Neoclassical influences, and the beaded and other glasswork is more reminiscent of the so-called "Maria Theresa lamps," based on those commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa for her coronation in factories in the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic in 1743. This typology spread rapidly throughout Europe, varying in design and serving as an example in major glass factories to this day. They clearly differ from the work done in Murano (Italy), but the chandelier follows a tradition that has its roots in Bohemia and continued in France, where as much attention was paid to gilded bronze as to glass. Similar lamps can still be found in prominent residences such as the Fernán Núñez Palace (Madrid), the Viana Palace (Córdoba), the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid), the Paz Palace (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the Louvre Museum (Paris), and others. · Size: 100x100x135 cm Weight may vary.
