Bronze Gothic Revival Candle Chandelier w. Virgin Mary & Marian Cross Sculptures

About the Item

Handcrafted and truly beautiful Gothic chandelier. In antiques it often is the case that the older a piece is, the better the quality and the details. This pre 1900s, unique, meaningful and highly decorative Gothic chandelier is no exception to that. You will rarely come across a Gothic work of religious art that is more elaborate and detailed than this marvelous bronze chandelier from the mid to late 1800s. To us, this very rare Gothic chandelier is like an ode to the Virgin Mary, because with three large bronze winged sculptures of Mary with Her arms crossed and a Marian Cross at the center of each group of four candles, this chandelier surely must have been created by an artisan who felt a special kind of love for the Virgin Mary. Together with the 12 candle holders (representing the apostles) and the single large light in the middle (representing Jesus) they all give deeper meaning to this remarkable work of religious art. No maker in this day and age is prepared to first carve or sculpt all the individual and highly detailed elements of such a figural chandelier before having to cast them all in bronze. Never mind the polishing, the hand-drilling of screwthreads and putting or welding all the individual pieces together. It would nowadays make this meaningful and ornate work of lighting art way too expensive. The original and equally impressive 'cross chain' and Gothic-crown-canopy are in excellent condition as well and together they make this majestic and practical to use chandelier an absolute joy to own and look at. Simply because it creates a divine atmosphere. This wonderful chandelier is ready for immediate usage in your home, church or monastery. Thanks to the hook inside the canopy, safely mounting this work of religious art will take no more than a few minutes. If you can afford a handcrafted and meaningful antique like this then why settle for less. It is great value. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Current height x diameter: 37 x 27.6 inches. We have several more of the original 'cross chain shackles' in case you wish to make this chandelier even longer. Height of this Gothic chandelier without the original chain and canopy: 12.8 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and thus for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
