Description
Basket chandelier with approx. 72 light fittings and an abundance of additional light fittings with which the chandelier was equipped in connection with its electrification. The basket consisted of assembled cast brass parts mounted on an iron rod, which in turn was covered with glass elements. The richly designed arms of the basket were adorned with a lavish crystal hanging consisting of recurring hanging parts. A ten-pointed star was always combined with a “baroque” pendulum. The upper end of the chandelier was characterized by a chased metal crown and a wreath with a hanging above it.
