Large Empire-style Hot-air Balloon Chandelier With Eight Crystal Lights – First Half Of The 20th Century

An elegant and impressive eight-light Empire-style balloon-shaped chandelier, crafted in the first half of the 20th century.
The gilded metal frame is embellished with a rich decoration of cut and faceted crystals arranged in the classic balloon-shaped design, with long rows of beads and pendants descending from the upper crown to form a refined luminous structure. The curved arms support the crystal candle holders and are further adorned with festoons and pendants that lend the piece a sense of lightness and elegance.
The upper section is particularly striking, crowned by ornamental elements and large faceted drops, while the lower band is enriched by numerous prismatic pendants that multiply the light’s reflections.
Thanks to its generous proportions and striking presence, this chandelier is perfectly suited for decorating living rooms, dining rooms, grand entryways, and period homes.
Electrical system in working order.
