19th Century Italian Giltwood & Crystal Chandelier Cut Crystal Drops on Carved Gilt-Wood Frame

This exquisite late 19th century chandelier from Genoa, Italy is a masterful example of Italian decorative arts, featuring a hand-carved gilt-wood frame adorned with cascading cut crystal drops. The chandelier’s eight serpentine arms support bobeches from which faceted crystals fall in layers, creating a shimmering, elegant display of light and form.

Swags of crystal drape between each arm in graceful arcs, completing the ornate silhouette. A timeless statement piece, this Italian gilt and crystal chandelier adds opulence and old-world charm to formal interiors, grand foyers, or dining rooms.
