IMPRESSIVE EMPIRE STYLE CHANDELIER RUSSIA, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY

An impressive Empire style chandelier, characteristic of grand ceremonial interiors from the reign of Emperor Alexander I. The composition is constructed according to a rare spherical principle, reflecting the architectural rigor and symbolic program of the Russian Imperial style. The central body takes the form of a deep blue sphere adorned with sculptural gilt stars, creating the impression of a celestial vault.The sphere is encircled by a broad gilt bronze band with refined relief ornament. Around the circumference are nine arms executed in the form of majestic swans with outstretched wings. The sculptural modeling of the birds demonstrates crisp feather detailing and expressive symmetry typical of high Russian Empire craftsmanship. Each swan supports a circular candle plate, forming a harmonious crown around the central body.The chandelier is suspended by massive chains attached to a richly ornamented ceiling rose decorated with palmettes and pendant pine-cone clusters. The lower section terminates in a stylized pine-cone finial, a traditional symbol of abundance in early 19th-century decorative art. Electrified while preserving its historical silhouette and proportions.Literature: Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Klinkhardt & Biermann, Munich, 1986, p. 359, pl. 5.11.4.Dimensions: Height 130 cm; diameter 66 cm.Condition: Good.

LARGE DOUBLE-LIGHT HANGING LANTERN RUSSIA, EARLY 19TH CENTURY

A large Russian double-light hanging lantern, representing a characteristic example of ceremonial interior lighting of the early 19th century. The composition is centered around a cylindrical body of clear transparent glass, enclosed within a gilt bronze framework forming the main decorative belt of the structure. The central glass cylinder is secured within a metal hoop and suspended by four chains from the upper mount, emphasizing the strict vertical orientation and monumental silhouette of the piece.The lantern is fitted with two bronze candle sockets intended for light sources, indicating its original use during the period of candle illumination. A central vertical metal rod runs through the entire structure, connecting the upper suspension element with the lower section, ensuring structural stability and visual coherence.The upper section is crowned with a glass dome set within a metal mount, surmounted by a hook for ceiling suspension. Surrounding the dome are curved metal rays adorned with drop-shaped crystal pendants, creating a shimmering play of light.Additional bronze arms with crystal pendants and star-shaped glass elements are arranged around the perimeter. Decorative metal belts are enriched with relief ornamentation and gilding. The lower section is completed with a glass base, centrally fitted with a decorative circular element serving as the terminal of the vertical rod.The overall appearance combines the disciplined clarity of Classical form with refined decorative richness, characteristic of grand palace and aristocratic interiors of the first half of the 19th century.Material: Gilt bronze, cast and forged; clear transparent glass; crystal glass.Dimensions: Height – 90 cm; diameter – 55 cm.Condition: Good.
