Large Antique Grand Tour Alabaster Chandelier w. Italian Landmark Carvings Rome
About the Item
Custom made antique chandelier with a stunning alabaster shade of almost 20 inches in diameter.
If you are looking for truly remarkable antiques that have to do with Italy in general or with famous Italian buildings or landmarks in particular then this entirely handcarved alabster stone chandelier could be flying your way soon. In the late 1800s and early 1900s well to do Europeans would sometimes go on so called 'grand tours'. These grand tours (or 'long travels') could take as long as 18 months and on these very long and educational holidays these well to do travelers would learn about ancient cities and cultures and more. With Italy being known for their alabaster light fixtures, one can understand how someone would have asked to have this stunning chandelier made as a reminder of the 'cultural splendor' that the owner would have witnessed in Italy. Apart from the perfectly hand carved flower at the bottom, this impressive chandelier displays three famous Italian landmarks. Firstly, there is the detailed carving of the worldfamous colosseum in Rome. Secondly, there is the equally famous tower of Pisa with the adjacent Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. And thirdly, there is the St. Angelo bridge and castle carving, also located in Rome. Finally, the floral decorations around each of the three bronze suspension points too is of a quality and detail that you would only find in late 1800s or early 1900s Europe. We believe we will never again have an opportunity to purchase, not only such a perfect antique alabaster light fixture, but also a meaningful grand tour relic that is all about great workmanship and respecting and appreciating ancient Italian culture. With three sockets that will each take a 100 watt bulb (easily) this unique and large size alabaster chandelier will light up both your days and evenings like no other chandelier ever could. Apart from the mint and solid brass chain this antique light fixture is completely original. The carvings are of a quality, detail and beauty that is right up there with the best we have seen to date and it is clear that a highly skilled artisan around the year 1900 spent a whole lot of time, focus and passion into creating this unique shade. For this sculptural antique chandelier they clearly picked the perfect rock of alabaster, because after more than 100 years this unique shade still is so structurally sound that it actually resonates like a gong when you strike it. Thanks to the marvelous, near-translucent veins and patches this three-light chandelier becomes even more amazing with the light switched on. We could shoot a hundred photos, but you still would not be able to see its true beauty. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning light is no exception. You can take our word for it. The mint brass chain and matching bronze canopy are like the icing on the cake of this glorious chandelier. Mind you, the stunning, sizable and mint bronze canopy (with metal hook inside) is adjustable in height so you can safely mount this chandelier tight to your ceiling (and over your junction box) in a matter of minutes. To find this Italian masterpiece in such excellent condition made it extra special and we have rewired it to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well. And if you use a dimmer switch then you can always create the perfect atmosphere for every occasion.
Especially with perfect packing and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days included in our fair price, this one of a kind alabaster chandelier is great value for money.
