Provenance
Dresden Castle, 1st floor of the Georg Building, salon facing the castle square; In inventory list no. 1 dated 31 January 1920, as part of the settlement agreement between the Free State of Saxony and the former royal house of 1924, the following items are listed for the salon facing the castle square: 1 bronze chandelier with prisms, as well as 6 three-armed bronze wall sconces and 2 two-armed bronze wall sconces, which are to be transferred to the state; An exact date of removal is not on record. The measures were completed in the summer of 1944. The chandelier was probably removed on April 26, 1944 and taken to the relocation site at Rammenau Castle. Nothing is known about the circumstances of the loss of these objects. It is assumed that they were lost in connection with the events of the Second World War.
