Antique Regency Chandelier Glass Bronze Structure XIX Century

Features

Style:  Regency (1811-1830)

Age:  19th Century / 1801 - 1900

Origin:  England

Material:  Glass

Description

8-arm chandelier in cut crystal with candle holders. The arms are grafted onto a support structure in gilded brass with multiple levels in which there are the lodgings for the glasses of the arms. The brass structure supports a cascade of cut crystals on four levels. The central brass stick ends with a cut glass cup from which crystals hang and from which the chains with gem crystals alternating with cut sticks start. The electrical support was added at the beginning of the 1900s to the central pivot without affecting the original chandelier. It is one of the most popular chandelier models in the Regency era; they can be found both with bronze arms and in this version with the arms in a single piece of cut glass, with only the glass in bronze. The most important examples, even if of completely different dimensions, are well testified by the watercolors of Charles Wild of the interiors of Carlton House made in the first decades of the nineteenth century.

Product Condition:
Lamp which, due to age and wear, may require restoration work, and probably has an electrification system that is not adequate to the standards in force.

Dimensions (cm):
Height: 77
Diameter: 77

The Regency style, so called for the regency (1811-1820) of Prince George of Wales, later crowned as George IV, King of England (1820-1830).

The shapes have become heavier, larger and more ornate.

Often enriched with an increasingly attentive taste to exotic Turkish, Indian and Egyptian stylistic themes.
