IMPRESSIVE EMPIRE STYLE CHANDELIER RUSSIA, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY

IMPRESSIVE EMPIRE STYLE CHANDELIER RUSSIA, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY

An impressive Empire style chandelier, characteristic of grand ceremonial interiors from the reign of Emperor Alexander I. The composition is constructed according to a rare spherical principle, reflecting the architectural rigor and symbolic program of the Russian Imperial style. The central body takes the form of a deep blue sphere adorned with sculptural gilt stars, creating the impression of a celestial vault.The sphere is encircled by a broad gilt bronze band with refined relief ornament. Around the circumference are nine arms executed in the form of majestic swans with outstretched wings. The sculptural modeling of the birds demonstrates crisp feather detailing and expressive symmetry typical of high Russian Empire craftsmanship. Each swan supports a circular candle plate, forming a harmonious crown around the central body.The chandelier is suspended by massive chains attached to a richly ornamented ceiling rose decorated with palmettes and pendant pine-cone clusters. The lower section terminates in a stylized pine-cone finial, a traditional symbol of abundance in early 19th-century decorative art. Electrified while preserving its historical silhouette and proportions.Literature: Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Klinkhardt & Biermann, Munich, 1986, p. 359, pl. 5.11.4.Dimensions: Height 130 cm; diameter 66 cm.Condition: Good.
