This fantastic late 19th century chandelier features an array of unique elements in a rarely seen shape. The five globes are extremely finely cut, polished and made of heavy crystal. The piece features a mirrored bottom, used to reflect and inherently amplify the light as well as to create a more open space. The lights’ orientation, facing downwards, is a straight forward indication that the piece was made after electricity. The ornately cast arms are made of bronze, and attach to a beautiful dome. It also features a fine bronze finial indicative of the time period, surrounded by a circle of octagonal and teardrop crystal.
