About the Item

Gilt bronze and Baccarat glass chandelier, France, 19th century. Ceiling chandelier made of gilt bronze with a central axis highlighted by glass elements with vase and baluster shapes. Around this centre a series of elements have been arranged in the golden metal: below, a series of curved arms (some with a right angle to give elegance to the placement of the lights) that end in the lighters of the candles, which they have saucers in glass to avoid the fall of the wax; at half height a composition combining with the glass that resembles an architectural balustrade; in the upper part, a series of stems come out, the upper ones ending in forms reminiscent of ears of wheat. The entire lamp has been decorated, also, with a variety of beads and pendants of different sizes and shapes: spherical faceted, star or flower, teardrop and vase. From the bottom hangs a faceted sphere of transparent, hollow glass. All these elements show a straight and clean lines with the objective of multiplying the brightness and reflections of the lights of the lamp. As for the elements in bronze overdorado, these present a fine decoration based on motifs of classicist inspiration (garlands, moldings and grooves, mainly), with the particularity of the ears of the upper part. This type of large lamps were created by the best glass factories in Europe in the nineteenth century, highlighting the French for attention to design and aesthetic novelties of the moment and the quality of their materials, in this case both glass and bronze. The design of this spider can be related to several examples preserved in particular collections and dated, especially in the middle of the century. The glass factory of Baccarat (France) was founded in 1764: King Louis XV allowed Louis-Joseph de Laval Montmorency (1710-1802) to create a factory in this city, which initially dealt with window panels, mirrors and glasses until the ovens began to work in 1816, with great success from the start. The factory received its first Royal commission in 1823, marking the beginning of a "golden age" in which it would also carry out numerous exports and commissions from important foreign personalities. In addition, he expanded his production with a remarkable variety of objects: chandeliers, perfume bottles, decorative glasses, paperweights of "millefiori", etc. With the defeat of Napoleon III in 1867 the French Imperial Age ended, and Baccarat opened up to influences from outside the country (especially Japanese) and extended its market to Asia, increasing its fame with more commissions from European royalty. At present, he continues to work, and is present all over the world." Size: 100 x 100 x 145 cms. Weight is merely orientative.
