Genoese Chandelier with 10 Lights
Popular :
Genoese chandelier with ten lights.
Silver bronze and crystal.
Reissue of Mathieu Lustrerie workshops. The art form of crystal bead lacing has its origins in the effervescent creativity of Milanese and Genoese chandeliers of the early 1550s. One of the most dazzling examples from this era is the Genoese flower chandelier. This typical 17th century creation from Genoa distinguishes itself using crystal beads meticulously sewn onto delicate bronze arms. This intricate technique creates a striking visual effect, like that of pearls of dew capturing and reflecting the first rays of light in the early morning.
The smallest crystals, cut into beads, are skilfully sewn onto each arm of the chandelier. The Genoese crystal chandelier demonstrates the versatility of the pearl: if they emphasise and magnify the frame of the chandelier, the pearls can also become sculptures in themselves when they are sewn into “laces”. The fragility of the pearl is a constant reminder of the talent and attention to detail required by the polisher to create such works of art.
Lustre génois à dix lumières.
Bronze argenté et cristal.
Réédition ateliers Mathieu Lustrerie. Le travail du laçage de perles de cristal trouve ses origines dans l'effervescente créativité des lustres milanais et génois au début des années 1550. L'un des exemples les plus éblouissants de cette époque est le lustre génois à fleurs. Cette création typique du XVIIème siècle en provenance de Gênes se distingue par l'utilisation de perles de cristal minutieusement cousues sur les bras en bronze. Cette technique délicate crée un effet visuel saisissant, semblable à des perles de rosée capturant et renvoyant la lumière de manière tout à fait singulière.
Les plus petits cristaux, taillés en billes, sont habilement cousus sur chaque bras du lustre. Le lustre de cristal génois démontre la versatilité de la perle : si elles soulignent et magnifient l'armature du lustre, les perles peuvent également devenir des sculptures à elles-seules lorsqu’elles sont jointes en « lacets ». La fragilité de la perle rappelle constamment le talent et la minutie nécessaires du lustrier pour créer de telles œuvres d’art.
