The open circular brass frame is suspended by cascading swags of natural rock crystal, creating a balanced, architectural silhouette that feels both graceful and substantial.

Each scrolling arm supports a candle-style socket set above cut crystal bobeches, with additional crystal drops and chains arranged throughout the body to catch and reflect light. The rock crystal elements display the natural internal inclusions and variations characteristic of true quartz, giving the chandelier depth, sparkle, and an authenticity that cannot be replicated by later glass substitutes.

The chandelier is in nice vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and normal use. The brass shows a warm, mellow patina, and the crystal elements remain clear and lively, with natural characteristics inherent to the material rather than flaws. This is a striking and decorative lighting fixture that brings classic Empire elegance and timeless character to a dining room, entry, or formal living space. 45h x 37w x 37d See less
