Beaux Arts Chandeliers and Pendants

BEAUX ARTS STYLE

Beaux Arts furniture included chairs replicating models from the Renaissance and sofas inspired by Louis XIV. These pieces filled high-ceilinged rooms that featured tapestries fit for a medieval castle and were illuminated by crystal chandeliers reminiscent of those in European palaces. Leon Marcotte Company created furnishings for the White House mimicking the style of Louis XVI, while in France, cabinetmaker Louis Majorelle reproduced 18th-century pieces that would influence his later Art Nouveau style.

Students at the École des Beaux-Arts in 19th-century Paris meticulously sketched Roman and Greek art and architecture as part of a curriculum that elevated the classical world. This reverence for history informed the architecture and design being constructed in the French capital and beyond, where columns and pediments were joined with elements referencing the Renaissance and Baroque eras, culminating in grand civic buildings such as the Palais Garnier opera house constructed under Napoleon III.

Beaux Arts style, also known as Classical Eclecticism for its flamboyant mixing of influences, made its way to the United States in the late 19th century through American architects who studied in Paris, like Richard Morris Hunt and Charles Follen McKim. They designed monumental turn-of-the-century buildings like train stations, libraries, museums and mansions that featured soaring entry halls and grand stairways with nearly every surface embellished, from mosaic floors to stained-glass ceilings. The luxurious interiors of these Beaux Arts buildings, which weren’t crowded with objects as in the Victorian era, matched this spirit of opulence and embraced the past.

Rare Arts & Crafts Pendant Light w Hand-Blown Art Glass and Bronze Mounts, c1900
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique Art Nouveau ceiling fixture with 10 hand-blown glass panels. An exquisite and rare Art Nouveau pendant light, fully embodying the organic elegance and craftsmanship of the Jugendstil movement. This exceptional fixture is not just lighting .. it’s a sculptural artwork that brings period authenticity and timeless beauty into any space. The chandelier features a bronze and brass frame with a rich, aged patina. It holds 10 gracefully curved, hand-blown art glass panels, each delicately opalescent with soft hints of pale green and white. These panels are encased in a flowing, nature-inspired framework typical of early 20th-century Art Nouveau design. Suspended from four robust chains, the bowl-shaped shade is topped with a highly detailed crown-like canopy that echoes the flowing, botanical forms seen in fine European lighting of the era. When lit, the glass panels emit a warm, diffused glow that enhances the fixture's sculptural lines and highlights its organic elegance (see photos with light on). The fixture will be professionally rewired and is fully functional, ready for installation. A unique conversation piece, ideal for entryways, bedrooms, or atmospheric corners in both traditional and modern interiors. This unique pendant / antique light fixture will bring the kind of pure and handcrafted class and beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age. This fixture will come with a matching canopy, mounting this stylish and rare ceiling lamp. Mind you, our price for this rare Arts and Crafts ceiling lamp even includes perfect packing and also free delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days.

Antique Arts & Crafts Alabaster & Brass w. Swallow Birds Pendant / Light Fixture
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning mineral stone pendant with wonderful colors in a unique brass frame. The designer and artist who created this Arts & Crafts work of lighting art must have been inspired by the wonderful colors that mother nature has to offer in the late afternoons and evenings in the summer. Especially the copper red light that the sun creates when disappearing under the horizon seems the source of inspiration for this artist. With the colors in this particular alabaster shade AND in the brass 'frame' corresponding with the marvelous colors at sundown this one of a kind pendant really is a joy to own and to look at. In our experience it is also at that time of day that swallows are the most active. Just like the embossed swallows in this shade we too have seen them circling above and around a swimming pool in the Canary Islands. By the way, the workmanship that has gone into hand-crafting this remarkable chandelier is of a level that you don't find anymore in this day and age. Never mind the amount of time it must have taken to first hand-draw and then completely hand-craft this gem. We have said it many times before and we will say it again here: both with the light switched on and off, the colors in this alabaster shade are much warmer and much more beautiful than in our photos. You can take our word for it. Because of the many colors and 'patches' one could also say that this pendant (when looking at it from different sides and angles) has many faces. That too is the beauty of surrounding yourself with truly natural materials. Together with the hand hammered (or embossed) swallows this alabaster shade pendant...
