This Italian Genoa eight-light chandelier dates from 1930 and belongs to the Italian Rococo style. Made from silvered and gilded metal and wrought iron, the piece has an aged silver colour scheme with a silvered and gilded finish and original patination. The construction includes a reeded and large acanthus leaf scrolling arm design, sectional leaf bobeche drip pans, a decorative leaf repousse column, and an ornate scrolling leaf cage canopy. Candle-style sockets hold the bulbs, and the upper section finishes in looped scrolling wires beneath a turned finial. The chandelier measures 79 cm high, 89 cm wide, and 89 cm deep, excluding the chain and rose. Suitable for interior illumination, it provides grand overhead lighting in a principal living room, dining room, or entrance hall.

FAQs

Genoese and northern Italian chandeliers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are recognised for their hand-formed metalwork, intricate foliate ornamentation, and silvered or gilded finishes. These fittings often blend dramatic Baroque proportions with delicate Rococo botanical motifs.

Traditional construction relies on wrought iron or carved wood as a structural base, which is then covered in gesso and finished with applied silver or gold leafing. Over time, oxidisation creates a soft, aged lustre unique to authentic leafed metalwork.

Authentic pieces feature hand-hammered metal joins, irregular floral and leaf detailing, and visible aging or tarnishing on the silvered areas. Modern reproductions often exhibit uniform casting marks, synthetic gold lacquer, or modern electrical wiring channels.

A large silvered gilded fixture serves as a dramatic focal point when hung above a modern minimalist dining table or within a high-ceilinged entrance hall. The muted silver tones pair well with neutral palettes, raw plaster walls, or architectural stone features.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a delicate feather duster. Avoid water, chemical solvents, and liquid polish, as these abrasive treatments will strip the delicate layer of applied silver leaf and gesso.
