"Empire Style Chandelier After Schinkel, Probably Berlin, Early 20th Century"
Impressive twelve-arm Empire chandelier featuring a scalloped ring decorated with finely detailed acanthus motifs and a rich arrangement of faceted glass prisms. The central stem rises in two tiers above gently curved supports decorated with stylized palm leaves, reflecting the neoclassical aesthetic associated with Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Later adapted for electric power.
