About the Item
Rare 19th-Century Ottoman-Style Gas Chandelier in Brass and Cut Crystal Glass
An exceptionally rare and magnificent antique chandelier in rich Ottoman style, crafted circa 1880–1900. This remarkable piece was originally designed as a gas chandelier — the small openings in the arms still testify to its historic function — and was later carefully and professionally converted to electric lighting while preserving all its original details and ornamentation.
The chandelier is made from heavy cast and finely hand-engraved brass, exhibiting a warm, authentic patina that speaks to its age and character. The ornate arms are adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns in classic Oriental style, each crowned with delicate crescent moons — an unmistakable symbol of Ottoman culture and aesthetic heritage.
The chandelier features five original cut crystal glass shades: four around the arms and one at the center. Each shade is crafted in an elegant pear shape with a refined diamond pattern, offering a stunning sparkle and a soft diffusion of light.
While its exact origin is uncertain, chandeliers of this type were most commonly produced in Turkey, as well as in France, Austria, and North Africa, to adorn palaces, grand villas, and distinguished public buildings.
