This large Italian Florentine double-tiered chandelier originates from the early 20th century, following a traditional continental aesthetic. Constructed from giltwood, wrought metal, and gesso, it displays an antiqued gold finish with visible patination on the surfaces. The construction incorporates an elaborate twisted baluster central column with an ornate bulbous base, supporting acanthus toleware leaf scrolling arms and carved trumpet wooden bobeche drip pans that hold twelve individual candle sconces. Additional visual details include leaf-shaped decorations, an original hanging chain, and a matching ceiling rose. Measuring 84 cm high, 71 cm wide, and 71 cm deep, this large-scale hanging light fitting is fully rewired and PAT tested for modern use. It provides ample overhead illumination and functions as a striking central fixture in a dining room, living area, or grand hallway.

FAQs

Florentine giltwood chandeliers are defined by hand-carved wooden or wrought metal frames coated in gesso and finished with applied gold leaf, drawing inspiration from Italian Renaissance and Baroque architectural motifs.

These light fittings typically combine hand-carved softwoods or wrought iron components, coated with gesso plaster and layered with gold leaf gilding over a red clay bole base.

Authenticity is indicated by carved joinery beneath the gesso surface, natural wear to the gilded finish revealing the underlying red bole base coat, and original candle sconce construction.

Position the chandelier as a central focal point in a dining room, hallway, or living area, allowing the warm metallic finish to contrast against contemporary neutral walls and clean-lined furniture.

Dust gently using a soft, dry ostrich feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, taking care to avoid water, liquid cleaners, or solvent polishes that dissolve historical gesso and gilded surfaces.
