Maria Theresa crystal chandelier with tall scrolls and drop pendants, five lights – mid-20th century
Crystal Maria Theresa chandelier with high scrolls and teardrop drops, five lights – mid-20th century
An elegant crystal chandelier in Maria Theresa style with five lights. Its hallmark is the high-scrolling glass arms, set with rows of small rosettes, which give it a tall, almost regal silhouette (photo 1 and 2). At the centre is a cut baluster stem beneath a scalloped crown. The five light arms carry clear, scalloped candle cups with candle sleeves (photo 4).
The chandelier is richly hung with teardrop and almond-shaped drops and has a cut crystal ball at its centre (photo 5). Seen from below, the star-shaped arrangement of the arms is clearly visible (photo 3). The construction – glass sleeves over a metal frame with rosettes at the joints – is typical of the Maria Theresa chandeliers made in Europe in the mid-20th century.
