A fine French Empire Chandelier, circa 1820

About the Item

An elegant 12 arm French pendant from the 1st Empire Period. The lead crystal prisms are all original and have a subtle grey/purple hue. The chandelier resembles a four tier fountain. The two tone gold ormulu mounts depict Athenians and foliate motifs. It is breathtaking in person. We have returned the fixture to being candle lit in order to recreate the original experience. That being said it can be electrified again.

    By Karl Friedrich Schinkel
    Located in New Haven, CT
    Magnificent Empire period gilt metal and crystal 18 arm chandelier designed by Germany’s premier architect at the time Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who was responsible for erecting most of the palaces in Berlin and most notably the “Altes Museum”.

Twelve candle arms are attached to the lower frame, while another six rise on top of the same frame with crystal spears for additional light reflection. Remember this dates from ca 1825 and the more gold and crystal prisms were present the more the room lit up by sheer reflection of candle light. It has been recently restored to the original gold surface and rewired to URL standards. Schinkel’s chandeliers...
