Dutch chandelier 6 lights

The Dutch chandelier is emblematic in the history of lighting in Western Europe. It appears in the bourgeois interiors of merchants in northern countries. During the 19th century, its large lights were electrified. The one offered here has all the codes of the Dutch chandelier with its polished brass structure, its very hollowed out S-shaped branches, the absence of glassware and especially its large sphere at the base of the chandelier. The arms are sagged to allow the large sphere to reflect the maximum amount of light. Given the electrical wiring present at the time of disassembly, this light was produced at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century. In the past, it has undergone repairs, particularly at the base of the second sphere, see photo. It was probably cracked during excessive tightening. We kept the repair and consolidated it, we moderated the tightening of the column so as not to weaken this weld. This breaks the verticality of the whole a little without however affecting its aesthetics. This is the story of this light fixture, it is beautiful to hear. The second sphere has a slight dent that is not noticeable in situ. These two "flaws" make a Dutch chandelier at a very moderate price. Passing through our workshops, it was completely dismantled and re-electrified with an earth connection.
