Antique Hand Carved Putti Alabaster Pendant with Removable Bronze Candelabras

About the Item

Five-light chandelier with a marvelous alabaster shade and three removable, double candalabras. We salvaged this large and majestic pendant from a house that was built in the 1880s. It was hanging from a 12 feet high entrance ceiling and we immediately fell in love with the wonderful putti holding the drapes all around the magnificently carved alabaster shade. Most of the gilding on the bronze has faded, but to us this only adds to the character of this amazing antique. It must have taken the sculpor weeks rather than days to hand-carve the 12 putti in total and the result is unlike anything you ever saw. Mind you, not one of them is the same and we find the ones with their legs crossed the most endearing. They all hold drapes and between every pair that is sitting back to back a bunch of grapes is hanging. Three very similar drapes are also to be found on the cast bronze canopy. Thanks to the special five way socket (image 9) the light is very evenly divided. In image 3 and 4 you can see this antique pendant with its original, bronze candelabras attached. These three double candle holders can easily be put on (with 3 screws each) and taken off. This amazing pendant is wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well. We feel this hybrid chandelier/candelabra will too find a good home soon, because this antique will lighten up your days and evenings like no modern fixture ever could. Mind you, our price for this hand-crafted work of beauty includes perfect and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x diameter (incl. the candelabras): 35 x 33.5 inches. Maximum diameter without the candelabras: 23.2 inches. Diameter of the alabaster shade: 19.7 inches. Weight: 41 pounds lbs or 18.5 kilograms. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • XL Antique Alabaster Chandelier / Pendant w. Bronze Ram Sculptures & Rose Shades
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Majestic antique pendant with a stunning, 20 inch alabaster shade and two sets of glass shades. Thanks to its unique design, its impressive size and its truly excellent condition this six-light alabaster chandelier will light up both your days and evenings, both in summer and winter time. This antique light fixture could not be more original and it even comes with a set of three near-transparent glass roses shades AND a set of three amberish color glass roses shades (matching the alabaster). So you can always choose the type of glass rose shades that you think are best for the occasion, season etc. The superb condition, colorful, extra large and deep alabaster shade combined with the equally excellent glass roses are a match made in heaven. However, what takes this chandelier to the next level are the three large and gilt bronze ram sculptures at each of the three suspension points. May these meaningful symbols for determination, power and leadership inspire their new owner(s) to reach for the stars and beyond. The black veins combined with other color veins and patches in this natural mineral stone shade contrast even more beautiful when the light is switched on, because the already marvelous colorful alabaster then turns into an even warmer spectacle of colors. We could shoot a hundred photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this impressive chandelier. The unique patterns inside this hand carved shade are the work of mother nature herself and the light brings them out in their true glory. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant is all but an exception to that rule. You can, again, take our word for it. The original and heavy gilt bronze chain and the stunning and large, gilt bronze canopy are like the icing on the cake of this incredibly rich chandelier. If you have also noticed the double rose pattern on each of the gilt bronze shackles then you must agree that whomever had this chandelier made clearly spared no expenses. And to give you an even better idea of the quality, the gilt bronze canopy alone weighs over 11 pounds lbs. To find this majestic chandelier in such excellent condition made our day, week and month and we are proud to be able to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. For our photos of this six-light chandelier we used three 75 watt bulbs inside the shade and one 60 watt bulb in each of the rose shades. This chandelier, however, will easily take three times 100 watts inside the shade and also easily 80 watts in each of the glass rose...
