Italy, Circa: 19th/20th century
Provenance: From an Important Palm Beach Collection
The first Murano glass chandeliers started production in the early 18th century. Venetian glass had been produced since the early 13th century and was renowned as the most beautiful and purest glass in the world. The glassmakers of Murano had always excelled at making beautiful and original works of art, and the transfer of their skill to chandelier production instantly bought a new dimension to the possibilities of chandelier design. Following a fall in production after the occupation of the Venetian republic by the armies of Napoleon from 1797, the mid-19th century saw a revival of Murano glass production when Venetian glass became intensely popular again.

19th C French Ormolu Mtd. Multi-Arm Baccarat Crystal Chandelier, w/ Fleur de Lis
By Baccarat
Located in New York, NY
A Magnificent and Quite Large 19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Multi-Arm Baccarat Crystal Chandelier, with Fleur de Lis Crystal Prisms. The ormolu body is cast of the highest quality of mercury gilt bronze. The arms are spectacular and split up between multiple tiers. The central stem is made up of a thick ormolu pole which is decorated with Baccarat crystal hand-diamond cut stepped sections. Attached to the stem are the numerous ormolu arms which terminated to hand-chased and hand-chiseled ormolu bobeche's; inside each bobeche is a hand-diamond cut crystal candle holder which is similar to a lily flower. These crystals are each hand-diamond cut with a crystal prismic pattern. Hanging off each arm is an array of hand-diamond cut crystal prisms, each with a variable crystal style form and each hand-beveled. At the top of each prism is a cut-crystal flower, which beautifully completes the gorgeous arms. In the center of each bi-armed section is a small ormolu step which holds a cut-crystal beveled sphere and incredible and rare, cut-crystal, beveled Fleur de Lis. This symbol is highly important and symbolic to the Royal family of France for hundreds of years. Chandeliers of this size, quality, condition, and inclusive of Fleur de Lis are highly prized and rarely found in the market as Fleur de Lis based items were usually produced with noble reason.
