Egyptian revival 3-light Empire chandelier, early 19th c
About the Item
This exquisite Swedish three-light Empire chandelier, crafted around 1810, is a rare and unusually small example of the Egyptian Revival style that flourished during the Napoleonic era. The elegant, compact form is suspended by finely cast gilt bronze chains, leading to a dark patinated bronze body adorned with intricate neoclassical motifs.
The chandelier’s frame is richly decorated with gilt bronze elements, including candleholders in the shape of prominent Egyptian-style masks, acanthus leaves, and delicate floral appliqués, reflecting the fascination with ancient Egyptian art and culture that swept across Europe in the early 19th century. The contrast between the deep, dark patina and the brilliant gilded ornamentation enhances the sense of refinement and historical grandeur.
Designed for candlelight, this chandelier offers a soft, atmospheric glow, making it a perfect statement piece for intimate spaces such as a study, a small dining area, or a library. Its delicate proportions make it particularly rare. A true collector’s piece, it embodies the opulence and artistic mastery of the early 19th century.
