Vintage - gold-plated chandelier with 9 lights

Antique Burnt Bronze Fire Gilded 9-Light Church Chandelier; although this 19th-century model contradicts the liturgical reference in the form inspired by a votive lamp hanging on chains, the decorative richness of the golden floral elements makes it a valuable piece of furniture perfectly suited for an elegant setting.

It begins with a bowl-shaped plate enriched with embossed palm decorations; from which nine cast arms extend. Six of them hold long candles with cast colacers decorated with crystal pendants and bobeiges with Rocaille rosettes, while the remaining three chains supporting the structure are made of cast leaf-shaped elements connected to a central cast quatrefoil-shaped cup.

The lower cup is illuminated with three additional internal lights to better highlight the intricate leaf crown from which it is topped.

Gilded with fire, this elegant chandelier comes from a private residence, is of Piedmontese origin, but is strongly influenced by French design; it dates from the early 19th century and is in excellent condition, re-electrified.

Luxurious antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. Currently, there is a growing number of enthusiasts for high-quality vintage items that possess a distinct character and soul. This is a nod to history, craftsmanship, and the creation of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its own distinctive features.

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few are particularly notable. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, dominated by the Biedermeier style. Its early 20th-century variants include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles evolved into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque styles.

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

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

Today, we can observe how much influence the Baroque style has had on 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 design. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and massive, often using brown stains, moldings, sturdy bases, and bas-reliefs. It can certainly be said that these were quite specific products, but they opened up many new possibilities, such as the construction of cabinets or broadly speaking, chest furniture. Here, too, there was an interest in mythology and ancient times, so supports and legs often took animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common features in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce such furniture, drawing inspiration from Italian and French creators. This reflects admiration and respect for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It is important to remember that furniture production was perceived differently in each country, so each style had its own character. This is especially important when searching for a luxurious antique that suits your interior.

The most important aspect of elite antique furniture is originality. And this is ultimately crucial for the buyer, as many forgeries circulate on the market.
