Enormous Hand-Crafted Antique Gothic Revival Bronze & Brass, 6 Candle Chandelier

About the Item

Fit for a church or castle, Gothic Revival chandelier. This amazing Gothic ceiling light clearly did not come from a home or even from a mansion originally and finding this gem totally made our day. It is most likely that it was initially made for a church or for a monastry and we were told that it got salvaged after the second world war. The XL size and the pure Gothic design make this fully original and complete chandelier unlike anything you ever saw. A statement piece like this is the perfect lighting and decorative solution for a large room with a Gothic or Medieval look and feel. At least as important are ofcourse the many Gothic symbols with which this chandelier is laced. First of all, the multifoil design of the chandelier itself could not be more Gothic. Secondly, the latin text 'CHRISTUS EST LUX' (Christ is the Light) in Gothic lettering and all around this chandelier is another 'Gothic feature' that tells you this enormous chandelier can only have been made for a church or monastery. Thirdly. the Medieval shields that are on each of the torch-design candle holders all come with an IHS sign (for Jesus) inside another multifoil symbol, which in turn is surrounded by fleur de lis symbols. These torch candle holders, with their perfect Gothic finials at the bottom (see image 16), could not be more Gothic either. Finally, the large, bronze Gothic crown canopy atop this enormous chandelier (with the stylized trefoil symbols and more) is the perfect finish to this one of a kind chandelier. And the fact that it has never been electrified/wired shows that former owners have always used it like it was meant to be. This does not mean that it never should, but if you do look for the most original Gothic antiques then maybe you should be this marvelous chandelier's next custodian. Some chances you only get once in your life and this certainly is one of them. This amazing Gothic antique is great value for money. Especially, when taking into account that perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 7 days are included in our fair price. Current height (without the chain that is above the canopy in our photos): 55 inches. Maximum width x depth: 41 x 39 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
