DIMENSIONS:

113cm x 186cm x 62cm

Brass chandeliers in the Baroque style, particularly those originating from the Netherlands, are renowned for their opulence and intricate craftsmanship. These fixtures often featured multiple arms, elaborate scrolling motifs, and bulbous central columns, designed to illuminate grand interiors with candlelight. Brass was common due to its durability and ability to be cast and worked into complex shapes, reflecting the wealth and status.

This style was popular during the 17th and 18th centuries. The ten-light configuration is typical for a chandelier intended for dining rooms or ballrooms. The presence of candle sockets and drip pans indicates its original function before the advent of electricity, adding to its historical appeal.
