Monumental Crystal Ceiling Lamp in Empire Style
Bohemia / Central Europe, ca. 1920–1940
A very beautiful and monumental crystal ceiling lamp, executed in the classic Empire style and made in Central Europe, probably Bohemia, during the interwar period (ca. 1920–1940). This high-quality ceiling lamp is richly set with numerous faceted crystal octagons, hand-strung in dense concentric rows, creating an exceptionally sparkling and warm light.
The lamp has an elegant saucer shape with a generous diameter of 55 cm, making it particularly suitable for larger spaces such as a living room, hallway, stairwell, or formal reception area. The central fixture and rosette are crafted from brass with classic detailing and a beautifully patinated finish.
When switched on, the lamp creates a characteristic interplay of light and reflection on the ceiling and walls—an effect typical of high-quality Bohemian crystal lighting from this period. This type of ceiling light was used in mansions, hotels, and official buildings at the time and was known for its luxurious appearance and durable quality.
