Green Lacquered Empire Chandelier with Crystal Drops
An elegant spherical Empire-style chandelier with a distinctive green lacquered central body.
This finely proportioned six-light chandelier dates to circa 1960–1970 and is crafted from brass with a beautifully lacquered metal sphere in deep muted green. Small applied star motifs accent the surface, adding a subtle decorative refinement and giving the piece a slightly celestial character.
The central globe is framed by a brass ring from which six gently curved arms extend symmetrically. Each arm supports a classic candle-style socket and circular drip plate.
Above the sphere, a delicate inner crown of slender brass stems carries faceted crystal drops in varying shapes. These crystals catch the light beautifully and add vertical elegance without overwhelming the clean Empire lines.
The fluted central stem reinforces the classical inspiration, while the green lacquer introduces a refined mid-century interpretation of traditional form.
