About the Item

* Kindly note that we arrange the shipping ourselves to ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable delivery. This allows us to provide the best possible service and care for your purchase. Early twentieth century, majestic, pure Art Deco, work-of-art light fixture. With early 20th century lighting in general (and alabaster fixtures in particular) as one of our specialities, we were again amazed to find again a completely unique and highly stylish, alabaster chandelier. This remarkable specimen is pure Art Deco in style and it actually has a Bauhaus feel to it. It is for that reason that we believe that this unique pendant was designed in Swiss. It was most likely handcrafted in Italy, but for a Swiss designer and for a Swiiss buyer. This is only the second time we’ve come across a chandelier like this, with as much as 8 'arms' adjacent to the center shade. It is a bold design and it must have given the alabaster carvers a bit of a headache to pull this one off. The Italian artisan(s) clearly delivered, because the perfectly carved and polished surfaces of both the large and the eight smaller shades are as good as you will ever see them. This unique and symmetrical Art Deco fixture is unlike anything you ever saw and with the light switched on in the evenings there is nothing that compares to its grandeur. There are four sockets inside the large, flat shade and one in each of the 'arms'. Luckily the eight smaller and higher shades come off, otherwise shipping would possibly have been too challenging (even for us). Apart from a few old and minor restaurations to the large dish shade, this one of a kind chandelier is in superb condition and, as so often is the case, it is even better looking in real life. This exceptional light is rewired for safe and immediate usage the world over and it can easily take eight bulbs of 60 watts each. This is more than enough to create the perfect atmosphere on every occasion. Mind you, our fair price for this royale Art Deco chandelier even includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays. Height x diameter: 38 x 30.8 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

Top Class, Arts & Crafts era Chandelier with an Unique Carved Alabaster Shade
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique alabaster shade with carved grapes bunches & leafs and perfect brass canopy. Thanks to its good size, its unique handcarved design and good condition this alabaster chandelier too will light up both your days and evenings. What makes this particular alabaster plafonnier stand out from those that we have seen and sold over the years, are the stylish and all-handcarved grape bunches and grape leafs that are carved all around the high side. For this unique light to still be in this condition after more than 100 years is not only an ode to the craftsmanship with which this light was handmade, it also shows how former owners have taken great care. We could shoot many more photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this shade and you could still not get a good idea of the tranquil beauty and class that this chandelier radiates. In real life (or in person) our antiques always have that little bit more and this stunning pendant is no exception. You are going to (again) have to take our word for it. Have you also noticed the rare, layered bronze elements at the suspension points? This striking, three light chandelier will give enough light for a living room or a dining area, because it will easily take 100 watts per socket. If you use less wattage then this can also be the perfect antique pendant for an entry hall or a master bedroom. Both with the light on and off its timeless beauty will never go unnoticed. The old brass chain and matching adjustable canopy is like the icing on the cake of this stylish chandelier. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and thanks to the metal hook inside the canopy, mounting this amazing chandelier can be done in just a few minutes. With perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days included in our fair price this large antique...
