Unique White & Black Alabaster Pendant Light Carved Leafs and Bunches of Grapes

Top quality alabaster shade pendant with deeply hand carved grapevines all around. Thanks to its good size, its unique handcarved design and extremely good condition this alabaster chandelier is bound to light up both your days and evenings. What makes this particular alabaster pendant stand out from those that we have seen and sold over the years are both the great colors AND the stylish and all-handcarved grape bunches and wine leafs that are going all around the shade. If you look closely then you will realize that these grapevines are not only the most deeply carved you will have ever seen, they also have been hand-carved with a technique that is called "(we cannot find the name for it yet)". Most of us are unable to handcarve anything half-decent, but the artisan whom created this work-of-art-light-fixture took it to another level alltogether. Not only did he hand-carve beautifully detailed grapevines with grape bunches and wine leafs, he also managed to carve everything around it away whilst still keeping the stunning alabaster shade perfectly round. Using this particular technique of hand-carving on a flat surface would already be very difficult and time consuming, performing it on a round surface is something only the true master carvers would have been able accomplish. Red and pink & black and white are the main colors in this, one of a kind alabaster pendant and with the light off this work of art really is a joy to own and look at. However, with the light switched on this amazing shade comes even more to life and then this chandelier creates an atmosphere that is unlike anything we have ever seen. For this unique light to still be in this amazing condition after more than 100 years is not only an ode to the craftsmanship with which this light was handmade, it also shows how former owners have taken great care. We could shoot many more photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this alabaster stone shade and you could still not get a good idea of the unique beauty and class that this chandelier radiates. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant truly epitomizes that. You can (again) take our word for it. Have you also noticed the perfect bronze and bross suspension points? They too are in perfect condition. To us, this is the perfect antique pendant for a restaurant or winery, but it will also look perfect in a cosey entry hall or in a bedroom. Both with the light on and off its artistic beauty will never go unnoticed. The replacement, anthracite colored, metal chains and the replacement, anthracite colored and height adjustable brass canopy are like the icing on the cake of this masterfully crafted and truly stylish chandelier. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and thanks to the metal hook inside the height adjustable canopy, safely mounting this amazing chandelier tight to your ceiling can be done in just a few minutes. With perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days included in our fair price this unique antique...

Marvelous design and truly unique Dutch Arts and Crafts pendant. With early 20th century light fixtures being one of our specialities, finding an Arts and Crafts pendant as unique as this always makes our heart jump. Every designer knows that getting a truly striking design on paper is very difficult, but finding the right artisans to perfectly execute it is at least as big of a challenge. In this case the maker(s) must have been at the top of their game, because the execution and the finish of this truly beautiful pendant is simply marvelous. Over the many decades the color (or patina) has made this light even more beautiful and this elegant design after more than 100 years still is as appealing as the day it was made. What makes this Arts and Crafts pendant light...

Beautiful color and good size Danish hand crafted fixture with chestnut leaf pattern. If you are looking for a stylish design, light to grace your midcentury or modern home then this handmade specimen from the 1970s could be flying your way soon. With lighting as one of our specialties we were, again, very happy to have been able to purchase this rare ceramic light as well. We purchased it from the same home where we found the Helleroe pendant that we published on 1stdibs yesterday. This fine specimen too has an organic-design and color shade and the chestnut leafs make it extra special and aesthetically pleasing. Both with the light switched on and off this work of lighting art too has a unique presence, one that will never fail to impress. This natural stone-like color pendant comes with a metal chain and an equally beautiful and original ceramic canopy. With the light switched on this Scandinavian light fixture...
