A singular chandelier with a rustic décor was probably carved in the 1840s, at a time when the “Troubadour” style spread in Brittany. The gargoyles represent the four apostles John as an eagle, Luke as a bull, Matthew as an angle and Mark as a lion. THis kinfd of wooden sculptures where seen in Churches of Brittany on the ceiling beams. This chandelier comes from the Chapel of a castle near "Le Mans" in France.

Ce curieux lustre a été sculpté sans doute vers les années 1840, à l’époque où le style troubadour s’est répandu en France. Sa thématique décline, en forme de gargouilles, la représentation des quatre évangélistes dans leur représentation symbolique (Jean en aigle, Luc en taureau, Mathieu en ange, Marc en lion) et celle de quatre des sept péchés capitaux. Le traité rustique des sculptures n’est pas sans rappeler le travail des poutres et corbeaux dans les chapelles de Bretagne et de la région du Maine. La provenance de ce lustre est d’ailleurs une chapelle de château dans les environs du Mans.

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
