IQ2081 VIENNE CHANDELIER

IQ2081 VIENNE CHANDELIER DESCRIPTION: This magnificent chandelier epitomizes the fashion for sumptuous and glittering furnishings made for the Russian Imperial Court during the later years of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Unlike those chandeliers produced in France and England during this period, they often featured a combination of both colored and clear crystal glass, renowned for the quality. Before the introduction of gaslighting, during the long dark nights of eighteenth and nineteenth Russia, candlelight was essential, especially in and around the outskirts of Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Thus, we find that during this period countless numbers of chandeliers and other candle-lit lighting were introduced into Russia's more palatial buildings.     SPECIFICATIONS: Collection: MODERN Size: 72" Wide x 76" Height  (Custom sizes also available) Shape: Pendant Metal Finish: Chrome (Different finish available at no additional cost) Materials: Crystal, Glass Weight: N/A LBS.
