Description
Ornate Victorian-style bronze chandelier with cherubic figures and scrollwork.
Chandelier design evolved significantly during the Victorian era, moving from gas lighting to early electric illumination. These fixtures became status symbols, often featuring elaborate metalwork, crystals, and multiple arms to accommodate numerous candles or bulbs. They were designed to be focal points in grand homes, ballrooms, and public spaces, reflecting the opulence and technological advancements of the time.
This particular style, with its cherubic figures and intricate scrollwork, is characteristic of the Rococo Revival or Gothic Revival influences popular in the mid-to-late 19th century. Such pieces were often crafted from bronze, brass, or cast iron, and their detailed ornamentation required skilled artisans. While some were purely decorative, others incorporated functional elements for lighting, transitioning from gas to electricity as the technology became widespread.
