Featuring an extraordinary dual-zone 10-socket configuration, intricate structural arms cast as mythical winged dragons or gargoyles, and pristine multi-faceted clear crystal glass chains. Masterfully handcrafted in Spain circa 1950s. Professionally restored, completely rewired, and showroom-ready.

Elevate your interior architecture with this highly sculptural, grand-scale statement hanging fixture standing at a 20.0-inch frame height and expanding to an impressive 24.25-inch maximum width. Executed in the opulent European Gothic and Neoclassical Revival styles with powerful Hollywood Regency undertones, the substantial 15.6 lbs framework is constructed entirely from heavy solid cast brass—including the magnificent upper openwork frieze ribbon band forming the crown rim. The metalwork displays an outstanding original golden depth, enriched by a warm historical luster and an authentic untouched dark vintage patina in the deeply chased details.

The structural centerpiece features six magnificent radiating arms beautifully cast as mythical winged dragons with open jaws holding large crystal pendeloques, detailed layered wings, and fluidly scrolling architectural acanthus tail volutes. These arms support ornate leaf-molded bobeches holding clean white candle sleeves for six (6) exterior candelabra-style lights. Hidden masterfully within the lower core is an additional four (4) internal light socket cluster, creating a breathtaking multi-directional illumination profile (10 lights total). Suspended from the heavy cast brass repeating neoclassical crown gallery rim is a densely woven, shimmering basket dome composed of hundreds of premium multi-faceted clear crystal prisms that capture and brilliantly refract the light. The lower basket terminates in a heavily chased, central leaf-molded drop finial. Due to its impressive palace scale, unique dragon iconography, and top-tier Spanish foundry casting, this curated luxury masterpiece serves as an unparalleled architectural statement for formal dining salons, grand double-height entryways, or sophisticated master suites.

MATERIALS, DESIGN AND CONDITION:
• The Structure & Artisan Casting: High-quality solid cast brass work crafted using traditional foundry sand-casting techniques, including the robust cast brass upper structural basket rim gallery. The metalwork is in excellent structurally sound condition, showcasing a deep, gorgeous period-correct golden brass finish with authentic historical patina accents.
• Premium Crystal Prisms: Outfitted with a complete, immaculate set of original multi-faceted clear crystal glass chains and large hanging crystal pendeloques. The crystals are chemically pristine, professionally cleaned, and free of any chips, cracks, or damage, providing an outstanding kaleidoscopic light refraction.
• Artisan Restoration & Safety: Professionally and completely restored by a specialist technician in our workshop. Meticulously disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, and fully rewired with brand-new internal wiring. 100% functional, structurally secure, and operational straight out of the box!
• US Electrical Compatibility: Fully compatible with the United States 110V-120V electrical grids (as well as 220V-240V international grids). The fixture is upgraded with ten (10) brand-new, ultra-safe European E14 sockets (6 exterior, 4 interior), completely eliminating vintage electrical risks. For a seamless installation in the United States, you have two: either use standard E14-to-E12 brass candelabra adapters combined with standard American E12 candle bulbs (readily available in any local US hardware store), or simply purchase standard E14 LED light bulbs configured for 110V-120V voltage. Recommended maximum wattage is 40W per socket for traditional bulbs, or any modern energy-saving LED equivalent (no wattage limit for LEDs as they generate no heat). Light bulbs are not included. Ready for immediate hardwired installation!
