Antique Crystal Cascade Chandelier

Magnificent 19th century masterpiece This is one of the most elegant Crystal Cascade chandeliers It is strung from top to center with gorgeous faceted crystal strains. The frame is one of the most unique colors that I have ever seen. It is gilt bronze with very interesting low luster pale highlights. The central band of the frame as I hope you can see in the photographs is highly decorated. It is accented all the way around with classical outward bending palm leaves. In-between the palm leaves there are three palm fronds which extend even further outward and are very bold. There is a candle cup on top of the fronds with an engine turned bobeche. At the end of that sever palm fronds you can see an absolutely stunning ornate crystal in the shape of a bell. There are beaded swags decorating the entire outside band of the chandelier accentuated by a huge highly faceted brilliant crystal. You then have four circular bands of cascading cut prisms ending in a free blown glass ball with a bell attached to the top. The chandelier is superbly classical and would fit a multitude of decor. The colors are that glorious color of crystal that is colorless – just the way we like it. There is nothing tacky about this chandelier it is supremely elegant. It has an amazing combination of candle power on the top and electric power on the interior - the best of both worlds
