This exceptional monumental chandelier is a striking example of early 20th-century European craftsmanship. Executed with a solid bronze outer frame and copper/brass internal structure, the fixture is lavishly adorned with hundreds of hand-cut crystal beads, faceted droplets and elongated pendeloques.

The elegant “basket” silhouette — tapering at the top and widening gracefully toward the lower ring — creates a refined Empire-inspired presence. The richly decorated bronze band and detailed crown elements enhance its architectural character, while the dense crystal arrangement produces remarkable light refraction and brilliance.

with an impressive height of 170 cm (250 in total with chain and ceilingcap) and a diameter of 90 cm, this chandelier belongs to the rare larger-scale category. Its proportions make it ideal for grand entrances, staircases, double-height living rooms, boutique hotels or representative spaces requiring a strong visual statement.
