Description

Here is a highly unusual and quite unique four branch chandelier of the Aesthetic Movement, dating to the late nineteenth century.

The Chandelier comprises of a Japanese Cloisonne enamel baluster vase of the Meiji period (1863-1912) , which has been incorporated into a gilt bronze mount holding the arms which are decorated with floral panels and sunflowers.

The vase itself has flowering sprigs of prunus, in blues and yellows, with gilt bronze sunflowers issuing from the top - the sunflower being a main motif of the Aesthetic movement.

Originally made as a candle chandelier, it has now been completely restored by an antique lighting specialist and has been converted to electricity. I was unable to photograph the lights switched on, as the lamp is wired to be fitted into the ceiling, so isn't powered by a socket.

The chandelier measures 53cm across, and is 49cm tall, with a 90cm flex ( which can be shortened to taste) and comes with a 60cm hanging chain - once gilded bronze, much of the gilding has now been lost to time, revealing the bronze underneath - this has a wonderful rich patina and with the gilt highlights, displays beautifully, as I hope the photographs show - the light really catching the detail.

I offer free delivery throughout the UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can offer any further information or photographs.
