Antique crystal chandelier with floral details 1910

In this listing, you will find an elegant and highly decorative multi-tiered chandelier, made in the early 20th century. This richly adorned piece combines a gilded metal structure with an abundance of cut crystal drops and hand-strung glass bead garlands, creating a luminous and dynamic presence. The chandelier is structured in a multi-level cage shape, crowned with a baluster top and tapering into a lower body shaped like a basket. Each level is adorned with large faceted pendants, elongated lance-shaped drops, and delicate chains of glass beads that gracefully drape between the arms. The upper register features oversized teardrop prisms, while the lower section culminates in a significant faceted crystal spherical ornament. Six curled arms extend outward, each supporting candle-style sockets with original bobeches, enhancing its classic silhouette. The gilded metal elements—formed into stylised leaves and scrolls—exhibit a beautifully aged patina, adding depth and authenticity to the whole. When illuminated, the chandelier produces a warm and atmospheric light, with the multitude of glass elements refracting the light to create a rich play of glimmers and shadows. Originally designed as a candle chandelier and later professionally electrified, it retains its historical character while allowing for modern use.
