About the Item

This type of chandelier is identified and named after the 18th century Empress of Austria, who in the late 18th Century had her palace filled with these Bohemian crystal chandeliers. This small-scale early twentieth-century Maria Theresa-style crystal chandelier has those characteristics. It has a stunning birdcage gold painted brass skeleton encased in a crystal frame decked with strands of faceted cut crystal. The motif continues with scalloped crystal prisms and scalloped crystal bobeches. The bountiful amount of crystal parts and prisms capture and reflect the light of candle bulbs beautifully. This elegant chandelier is perfect for a traditional home, a contemporary city condo, or a modern loft. The small scale makes it perfect for short ceilings. Wherever it resides, it will surely add the same grandeur and elegance that the Empress herself demanded! H=20 in. W=20 in. D=20 in. 15 lbs.

Early 20th Century French Rococo Revival Five Arm Bronze and Crystal Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century five-arm Rococo-style 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. The other chandelier, made of gilt bronze and brass, complements this one beautifully, despite lacking gilding. Gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, has been gilded with a thin layer of gold, giving it a more luxurious and luminous appearance than plain bronze, which retains its natural, darker patina. They also pair harmoniously with our tall early 20th-century French Giltwood Mirror featuring Fragonard porcelain...
