Antique Maria Teresa crystal chandelier 9 lights restored

Antique Crystal Chandelier Maria Teresa 9 Lights Restored with a classic cage structure in perfect condition, completely refurbished in our workshop; it was actually purchased in the condition documented in the photo taken before renovation: the crystals were very dirty, the gilding of the structure was oxidized, and the electrical installation wires were thickened and broken in places. It dates back to around 1950.

The chandelier was completely disassembled in every part, the iron structure was mechanically brushed to remove rusty parts, and then refurbished; the electrical part was completely redone by replacing the old fabric wires with a narrow ribbed strip and the wooden candles were replaced, allowing the crystals to be reassembled starting from the holders, then the rosettes on the joints, and finally the crystal pendants while maintaining the original order and division. After completing the work, we decided to insert octagonal chains and pendants to make the final aesthetic effect more precious (which can be easily verified by comparing the before and after renovation photos). 

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

We include a work card and a declaration of conformity with each of our works in accordance with current regulations. It measures 70 cm in diameter x 90 cm high and weighs 13 kg.

Exclusive antique furniture and furnishing accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. Currently, there are more and more enthusiasts of high-quality old products that have a specific character and soul. It is a nod to the history, creation, and design of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its distinctive features.

There are many different styles characterizing antique furniture, but we can highlight a few of the most important ones. Eclectic furniture belongs to the 19th century, which includes the graciously reigning Biedermeier style. Its variations in the early years of this century include Neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and finally the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles transitioned into pseudo-styles of Classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque.

Empire-style furniture and accessories date from the period between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This originated from the reign of Napoleon, where significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek decorations were imposed.

Classicist furniture is the Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Interesting and noteworthy are all antique products in the Rococo and Louis XV styles. Next is Baroque, whose name comes from the Portuguese 'barocco'—which translates to an irregularly developed pearl. These were very representative pieces of furniture, meant to literally ooze glamour and play a significant role in luxury. Exceptional, selectively used materials were employed to further emphasize the lofty tone of these products.

Today, we can observe how much influence the Baroque style had on today's classic furniture, which is designed with great similarity to the past era. Another significant style is the Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and also left a significant mark on the art of furniture making. The Renaissance style was quite heavy and massive. Brown stains were used, as well as cornices, strong plinths, and bas-reliefs. It can certainly be said that these were quite specific products, but they offered many new possibilities, such as the construction of sideboards or generally broadly understood chest furniture. Here, too, there was an interest in mythology and ancient times, so supports or legs took on animal forms.

Lion's paws, eagle heads—these are common sights in the Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands recreate such furniture, taking examples from Italian or French creators. This is a manifestation of admiration and care for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It is important to remember that in each country, furniture manufacturing was perceived differently, so each style in a given country had its own separate character. This is very important, especially when searching for the right elegant antique for your interior.

The most important aspect of stylish antique furniture is originality. This is ultimately crucial from the buyer's perspective, as there are many counterfeits on the market. The Luxury Products brand provides a document confirming the product's compliance with the actual description and photo. We have art appraisers, historians, and experts from around the world at your disposal.
