Antique Maria Teresa crystal chandelier 9 lights restored

Ancient crystal chandelier Maria Theresa 9 lights Restored with a classic cage structure in perfect condition, completely renewed in our laboratory; it was actually purchased under documented conditions shown in the photo taken before restoration: the crystals were very dirty, the gilding of the frame had oxidized, the electrical wiring was thickened and partially broken. It dates from around 1950.

The chandelier was completely disassembled in every part, the iron frame was mechanically brushed to remove rusted sections, then restored; the electrical components were entirely reworked by replacing the old fabric wires with a narrow ribbed strip, and the wooden candles were replaced, allowing the crystals to be carefully washed and reassembled starting from the holders, then the rosettes on the joints, and finally the crystal pendants, maintaining the original order and division. After completing the work, we decided to add octagonal chains and pendants to enhance the aesthetic effect (which can be easily appreciated by comparing the before and after photos). 

The chandelier has eight external E14 lights (small socket) and one internal E27 light (large socket) with a maximum power of 750 watts. 

Each of our pieces is accompanied by a work card and a declaration of conformity in accordance with current regulations. It measures 70 cm in diameter x 90 cm high and weighs 13 kg.

Exclusive antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. There is currently a growing number of enthusiasts for high-quality vintage products that possess a specific character and soul. This is a nod to history, creating and designing classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its distinctive features.

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few are particularly notable. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, during which the Biedermeier style was dominant. Its early variations include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and finally the English Victorian style. Toward the end of the century, these styles transitioned into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque styles.

Empire-style furniture and accessories date from the period between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Everything was influenced by Napoleon’s reign, which imposed significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation.

Neoclassical furniture is associated with Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Interesting and noteworthy are antique products in Rococo style and Louis XV. Next is Baroque, a term derived from Portuguese 'barocco'—meaning an irregularly developed pearl. These were highly ornate pieces designed to radiate splendor and play a significant role in luxury. Materials were selectively used to emphasize the grandeur of these items.

Today, we can see how much the Baroque style influenced modern classical furniture, which is designed with a strong resemblance to the historical period. An important style is also Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and left a significant mark on furniture craftsmanship. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and massive, often using brown stains, with cornices, sturdy bases, and reliefs. These products were quite distinctive but also opened new possibilities, such as the construction of cupboards and broadly speaking, chest furniture. They also reflected interest in mythology and ancient times, with supports and legs often taking animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce furniture inspired by Italian and French creators, as a tribute and preservation of the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It’s important to remember that furniture production was perceived differently in each country, so each style had its unique character. This is especially important when searching for an elegant antique that suits your interior.

The most important aspect of stylish antique furniture is originality. And this is ultimately crucial from the buyer's perspective, as many counterfeits circulate on the market.
