About the Item

Utilizing various designs from the ancient Greeks and Romans for inspiration, the neoclassical style of this pair of pendant lights is elegant and sophisticated with more classical elements and straighter lines. The rim of the crystal-beaded bowl has been crafted from brass with gilt acanthus leaf motifs. Acanthus leaf motifs were used extensively by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The shining gold color of the leaves draws the eye in, especially since it is contrasted with the patinated brass. The matching canopy at the top is attached to an adjustable center stem that can be used to adjust the height of the pendants. A cascade of crystal beaded bowls brilliantly dazzling light about a room. At the bottom of the crystals is a bottom gold foliate and acorn finial that centers the fixture. Acorns were another popular neoclassical motif. This pair of pendant fixtures while simplistic in design are sure to be show stoppers in any room they are placed. They would look divine in a hallway or evenly placed over a dining area. Recently rewired to meet US electrical standards, this fixture combines historical elegance with modern convenience. The rod's height is adjustable Recently rewired to meet US electrical standards, this fixture combines historical elegance with modern convenience. The rod's height is adjustable: For a shorter fixture, the rod can be cut to the desired height. For a longer fixture, the rod can extend up to 37 inches, with an extra 3 feet of wire available. Adding a canopy and chain can extend the length. They cannot be mounted flush to the ceiling due to the gilt brass acanthus leaves preventing the rims from fitting close to the ceiling. H=46 in.

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.

Together, they pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
