About the Item

An extraordinary and highly atmospheric late 19th-century continental hanging candle chandelier, beautifully showcasing the intricate metalwork of the Gothic Revival era. Designed as an openwork, egg-shaped "cage" or corona, this magnificent fixture masterfully balances the strength of hand-forged iron with the warm elegance of polished brass. ​The central body of the chandelier is a masterclass in classical ironwork, featuring a series of contoured vertical bands filled with delicate, fluid filigree scrollwork. This airy, transparent cage is cinched by a wide, heavy brass belt that serves as the visual anchor of the piece. This central band is meticulously detailed with hand-embossed starburst, rosette, and geometric motifs that catch the light beautifully. ​Branching out symmetrically from the central band are sweeping, S-curved iron candle arms. Each arm terminates in an exquisite, cast-brass candle bobeche shaped like an opening tulip or lotus bud, designed to cradle traditional taper candles. The fixture is perfectly balanced by decorative brass elements at its poles: a bulbous hanging loop, and an intricate, crown-form drop finial at the base. Patina to the brass, commensurate with the age of the chandelier, small amount of movement to some of the arms. Height 63 cm x Width 46 cm
