Maria Teresa Gilt Iron and Crystal Chandelier, Italy, Mid-18th Century
-
Description
Beautiful Maria Teresa–type chandelier with a finely gilt iron structure, six candle-form arms, and strands of crystal beads and pendants. Its charm lies in its graceful lightness and measured scale, making it ideal for more intimate interiors while still offering a sophisticated decorative presence. The elegance is enhanced by the draped crystal garlands and the larger faceted pendant positioned at the base, which catches the light with subtle brilliance and softness.
The scrolling golden armature lends a soft sense of movement, creating an interplay of curves and transparency that feels both refined and understated. This chandelier is able to elevate any space — from a dining room to a bedroom or entryway — with style and quiet grandeur.
Italian craftsmanship, mid-18th century.
