Description
18th c Italian chandelier. An 18th‑century Italian beaded chandelier evokes the theatrical elegance of late‑Baroque and early‑Neoclassical Italy, where artisans combined metal armatures, crystal, and hand‑strung beads to create lighting that glowed even before electricity. These chandeliers vary from rustic provincial forms to elaborate courtly designs, and the documented examples show how diverse the category truly is. 31h x 26w
