Elegant chandelier made of crystal beads from the 20th century

A chandelier with crystal beads from the early 20th century, featuring six arms, made of partially gilded iron, with a cage-like structure completely covered with two rows of crystal beads.

The structure of this antique beaded chandelier is adorned with particular details: six vertical elements reveal traces of the original gilding on the iron rod, handcrafted crystal floral decorations in the shape of daisies, and decorative cabochons made of transparent glass, as well as gilded brass decorations, making this early 20th-century chandelier a unique and sophisticated interior decor addition. Fun fact: the round discs placed in the center of the lower part are buttons. Garlands of crystal chains, pendants in the shape of balls, almonds, and prisms enrich the craftsmanship of this chandelier, adding lightness and harmony without weighing it down.

Another unusual detail is the two phytomorphic elements made of gilded iron - a bulb at the top of the structure, repeated as the final bud at the bottom. The six curved, double-coiled arms end with six iron bobeches with a floral motif. The chandelier has been electrified to a maximum power of 500 watts.

Original antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. Today, there are more and more enthusiasts of high-quality old products that have a certain character and soul. It's 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 distinguish a few of the most important ones. Eclectic furniture belongs to the 19th century, during which the Biedermeier style reigned. 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.

The beautiful Empire style furniture spans the period between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It all stemmed from the reign of Napoleon, where significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek decorations were imposed.

Classicist furniture refers to 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 splendor 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. 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 provided many new possibilities, such as the construction of sideboards or generally broadly defined 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 distinct character. This is very important, especially when searching for the right luxury 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.
