About the Item

This is a beautiful vintage porcelain and brass four light chandelier decorated with garlands of flowers, in Dresden style and dating from the mid-20th century. I bought this from the hallway of a large 1920s house set behind a gated entrance in Eastbourne. Add a touch of class to your home with this beautiful decorative chandelier. Condition: Excellent - as it has been dismantled and cleaned. Dimensions in cm: Height 40 x width 36 x depth 36 Dimensions in inches: Height 15.7 x width 14.2 x depth 14.2 The word chandelier appeared in the English language in the late 14th century, borrowed directly from 12th century old Spanish. This was a new spelling of the 10th century French word candelabra, which comes from the Latin candelabrum, itself from the Latin candela (meaning candle). The earliest candle chandeliers were used by the wealthy in medieval times. The world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, is located in the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul. It has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons. Dolmabahçe has the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world, and one of the great staircases has balusters of Baccarat crystal. Art Nouveau - style of art, architecture and applied art, especially the decorative arts, that was most popular during 1890-1910. English uses the French name Art Nouveau ("new art"), but the style has many different names in other countries. Art Nouveau is also known as Jugendstil in Germany, as Modern (??????) in Russia, as Modernisme in Catalonia (Spain), as Secession in Austria-Hungary and as Stile Liberty in Italy. The style was most popular in Europe, but its influence was global. As a reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants, but also in curved lines. Architects tried to harmonize with the natural environment. It is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewelry, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils and lighting, as well as the Fine arts. According to the philosophy of the style, art should be a way of life. For many well-off Europeans, it was possible to live in an Art Nouveau-inspired house with Art Nouveau furniture, silverware, fabrics, ceramics including tableware, jewelry, cigarette cases, etc. Artists desired to combine the fine arts and applied arts, even for utilitarian objects.
