This sculptural chandelier, shaped like mistletoe and featuring three lights, is a stunning example of the Art Nouveau style, likely of German or Austrian origin. Crafted in bronze with a verdant green patina, it embodies the organic influences characteristic of this artistic movement. The finely detailed leaves intertwine gracefully, while the opaline glass berries lend a luminous delicacy to the piece. The twisted branch-shaped suspension is a particularly artistic touch, directly inspired by nature.
Art Nouveau, emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, sought to break away from historical styles, embracing flowing lines and nature-inspired motifs. This chandelier is a rare and poetic piece, ideal for adding an elegant and nostalgic ambiance to any interior, blending timeless artistry with practical beauty.
The wiring has been updated to modern standards while preserving the original three bayonet-style bulb sockets, ensuring contemporary functionality without compromising its period authenticity. One small leaf requires re-soldering.
