About the Item

This antique 19th century Italian large gilt bronze and enameld Neo Gothic pendant chandelier dating back to 1850 circa is a stunning handcrafted light fixture designed in the shape of an advent wreath with quatrefoil pierced and scalloped hoops, with original polychrome painted decoration, supporting 12 candle sconces with scalloped drip trays suspended by three chains The gilt bronze is profusely ornated and chiselled with great attention to even the most hidden detail, including the ceiling cap, chains and the body of the light fixture itself. Each element done with intricate pierced scroll work and stylized flowers, leaves and naturalistic patterns, the whole enriched by enamelled flowers, applications of ruby red, emerald green and sapphire blue glass gemstones. The overal design, the Gothic Revival elements in it combined with the striking golden color and original enamel painting make this light an absolute joy to own and look at. The amount of work that went into creating this striking chandelier is almost unimaginable, especially in this day and age. It seems more like a high-quality goldsmith's jewlery artefact than a piece of furniture, the hand chiselled work is incredibly detailed for a chandelier that is always observed from afar, plus the glass and enamel mounted decorative elements are all signs of high end craftsmanship and very important provenance. When illuminated or unlit, this chandelier fills any room with noble elegance. This wonderful Gothic style pendant light look beautiful in the daytime, but with the total of 12 candles lit up in the evening, the warm light shining onto the gilt bronze and colored glasses creates a spiritual atmosphere that is truly remarkable and one that will never fail to impress. It will be the eyecatcher lighting fixture in any room and an interesting conversation piece. The chandelier is in very good condition and professionally wired so it is definitely ready to hang for immediate usage. It comes with newly hand made artisanal white silk and blue trim lampshades and light bulbs. Dimensions: Diam. 70 x H. 110 cm
