About the Item

This exquisite late 19th-century chandelier masterfully blends Victorian and Neoclassical aesthetics, crafted in bronze with eight captivating lights. The etched glass shades are artistically designed, with four resembling bellflowers and four evoking torch flames, creating an alternating pattern throughout the fixture. Every aspect of the chandelier highlights Neoclassical iconography, from the central column adorned with classical Greek dancers playing Kallisthenia cymbals to the arms featuring columnar detailing, classical vases, and elegant foliate scrolls. The top is beautifully shaped with bunches of acanthus leaves. Neoclassicism draws inspiration from the classical grandeur of ancient Greece and Rome. The Victorian Neoclassical style greatly influenced the art and culture of the era, creating a rich visual language. This stunning chandelier will make an impressive statement in any space. Dimensions without ceiling cover and chain: H=38 in. W=35 in. D=35 in. 35 lbs.

Late 19th Century Eastlake Style Bronze Eight Light Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This late nineteenth-century gilt bronze and brass Eastlake-style chandelier has four lights, etched glass shades, and foliate scroll details. The entirety of the chandelier emphasizes neoclassical iconography and stylings. The body is adorned with mythological sea horses and Zephyr faces, while the central column is embellished to look like an ancient Greek vase and the arms have columnar detailing.

Early 20th C. French Rococo Revival 6 Arm Gilt Bronze and Crystal Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century six-arm Rococo-style gilt bronze and crystal chandelier features porcelain plaques inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French Rococo painter. The Rococo style is celebrated for its ornate elements, intricate curves, and nature-inspired motifs. The chandelier's cast bronze body is adorned with porcelain plaques and crystal prisms in various shapes and sizes. Encrusted crystal beads at the bottom enhance illumination and beauty. When lit, the faceted crystals create a brilliant display, complementing the exquisite bronze detailing. This chandelier blends seamlessly with another similar chandelier, which, while not identical, mirrors its aesthetic charm. This chandelier is made of gilt bronze and brass, offering a luxurious and luminous appearance due to the thin layer of gold gilding, known as ormolu. In contrast, the other chandelier is not gilt, featuring a natural, darker bronze patina. Together, they pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
