About the Item

This chandelier from the early 20th century showcases the Neoclassical style, which emerged in Europe during the early 18th century. This design aesthetic emphasized symmetry and drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art. The intricate metalwork features cast neoclassical motifs throughout. Starting with an elegant crown adorned with an acanthus leaf pattern, the chandelier is supported by four ornate chains leading to a textured rim embellished with bellflowers and leaf designs. The gilded bronze finish adds a touch of opulence, preserving the chandelier's original allure. The standout element of this piece is the meticulously hand-carved alabaster stone bowl and shades. Alabaster, a soft and translucent sedimentary rock with a smooth texture, emits a warm glow when illuminated. With a history of over 3,000 years in decorative arts, alabaster's natural veining and color variations make each piece unique. The interplay of light against the stone's veins and matte sheen creates a captivating contrast in any room setting. H=33 in. W=38 in. D=38 in. 70 lbs.
