Vintage, antique and curious things from all over the world.
VENDUTO
Chandelier - Genoa - Empire Period - Early 19th Century - Golden brass sheet, original crystals.
The "Mongolfiera" (air balloon, for the shape) chandeliers have now entered by right among the most sought-after antiquities among avid collectors.
What we found in Genoa dates back to the very early 1800s, the Empire Era, therefore.
In golden brass sheet, 6 arms, original drops in transparent crystal.
Small deficiencies of the drops which, being original, Rattopennugo does not recommend integrating, but suggests leaving the period intact, electrical system, obviously, checked and guaranteed.
Note the aesthetic lightness of this chandelier that only Genoa the Superb of that period expressed so well.
