19th Century Sicilian Beaded Crystal Chandelier – Gilded Metal & Gilt-Wood, 18-Light Statement Fixture
This stunning 19th century Sicilian crystal chandelier is a grand example of southern Italian craftsmanship, richly adorned with beaded crystal strands, scalloped placards, and cut crystal spheres. The elegant silhouette features gilded metal arms, each holding a crystal bobeche with hanging teardrop prisms, while the central shaft, composed of sphere shapes, is topped with a gilt-wood floret and anchored by a dramatic crystal orb.
Measuring nearly five feet in diameter, this impressive antique chandelier is ideal for large-scale interiors such as grand foyers, formal dining rooms, or ballrooms. Originating from Sicily circa 1880, it remains European wired and will require rewiring for U.S. electrical standards. A true showpiece for those seeking a sophisticated and historic European lighting fixture with rich materials and commanding scale.
