Offered is this elegant Empire-style brass basket chandelier with an elaborate crystal arrangement.
The chandelier features the beautifully balanced and refined proportions characteristic of the Empire style. Numerous strands of faceted crystals descend from the decorative fan-shaped brass crown to the richly ornamented brass ring, continuing below to form the chandelier's classic rounded basket.
The crystal arrangement is particularly attractive, combining numerous faceted crystal beads with a striking row of long cut crystal prisms. The variety of cuts beautifully catches and reflects the light, creating a brilliant sparkle when illuminated.
The wide brass ring features a delicate raised ornamental decoration and has developed an attractive surface consistent with its age. The warm tone of the brass provides a beautiful contrast to the clear crystals and emphasizes the chandelier's elegant classical appearance.
Inside the crystal basket are three E14 light sockets, allowing the light to shine through the numerous facets and prisms.
With a diameter of only 9.84 in (25 cm) and a body height of approximately 23.62 in (60 cm), this chandelier has particularly elegant and slender proportions. Its total hanging length including suspension and canopy is approximately 31.50 in (80 cm).
