The richly ornamented central section is made of wood, while the eight curved arms are crafted from brass. The warm gilding provides a beautiful contrast to the opulent crystal ornamentation.

The chandelier is adorned with a variety of cut crystal elements, including large pendants, smaller drops, crystal chains, and rosettes, extending over several tiers.

Stylistically, the chandelier can be attributed to the Louis XVI Renaissance and Neoclassicism of the late 19th century. Based on its construction and decorative details, we estimate its date of origin to be around 1880.

The chandelier has been fully restored and rewired, with particular care taken to preserve the historic wooden central section and its existing character.
