A rare basket-shaped chandelier, whose composition is distinguished by its originality and refinement. The upper part opens onto a delicately worked floral corolla, overlooking a royal crown set with colored glass, evoking precious stones. Further down, a generous structure combining bronze interlacing, crystal pendants and tinted crystal elements gives it an imposing, theatrical presence. Similar pieces have been found in the Royal Palace in Turin and in northern Italy in the early 19th century, testifying to exceptional craftsmanship at the crossroads of decorative art and monarchical symbolism.

Rare lustre de forme corbeille, dont la composition se distingue par son originalité et son raffinement. La partie supérieure s’ouvre sur une corolle fleurie délicatement travaillée, surplombant une couronne royale sertie de verres colorés, évoquant des pierres précieuses. Plus bas, une structure généreuse mêlant entrelacs de bronze, pampilles de cristal et éléments en cristal teinté lui confère une présence imposante et théâtrale. Des pièces similaires ont été recensées au Palais Royal de Turin ainsi que dans le nord de l’Italie au début du XIXe siècle, témoignant d’un savoir-faire d’exception à la croisée de l’art décoratif et du symbolisme monarchique.

CRYSTALS

Rock Crystal / Quartz

In the 18th Century, the royal chandeliers were treated as jewellery, Their pendants were in 'pure water crystal' - natural crystal/quartz.

18th Century Crystal

Before Lead crystal was discovered, the glass was mixed with Manganese, Tungstene or other materials. These materials used to give a smoky, violet or yellow tint to the glass. Our 18th Century Crystal recreates this effect, making it perfect for pieces that need to look antique or fit in a collection.

Bohemian Crystal

The 19th Century is the great avent of Lead Crystal - commonly known as simply “crystal”. Our suppliers in Eastern Europe create pure and transparent Crystal, which we call Bohemian.
