Description:
This Feiss Bellini 4 light quartz crystal chandelier in oxidised bronze features a circular ceiling cup and chain link suspension. The centre of the light is based around the cartwheel frame, beautifully distressed and finished in an oxidized bronze. Four upward flowing arms extend from the cartwheel, each having candle style lights, with a wide candle sconce and quartz crystal dressing. Although the cart wheel is the centre of the fitting the focal point has to be the sculptured chained antique quartz crystal forming a web of reflection.
With typically Italian influence, yet dusted with a touch of stylish 1920’s French Chateau, the beautiful Bellini fittings are dressed using antique quartz crystal and hand finished in an Oxidised Bronze finish. Wherever placed they will add opulence and class to their surroundings.
The earliest known crystal chandeliers were dressed with rock crystal quartz, a translucent form of crystal used only by the very wealthy as the rock was extremely rare and very difficult to work with. Each rock was hand carved and as the rock was so brittle larger facets of crystal were used to dress the chandelier often with slightly different sizes. Lighting in this era called for a fitting to be elaborately dressed in glass, crystal and quartz to capture and reflect as much of the reflection from the candle or early lamps as possible.
This Bellini chandelier design is inspired by fittings of that era and uses larger facets of quartz in cascading streams. Four lamp bulbs sit on candelabra arms with a mass of quartz perfectly draped to form the body. The outer frame is shaped with flowing loops and beads of quartz crystal. A wonderful design that will transform into a glittering mass of reflective light when illuminated.
A smaller sized and bright very feminine chandelier that gives plenty of light and well suited to any bedroom, dining room, living room, hallway or landing in a classic, traditional or period style. Supplied with 152cm of chain that can be shortened at the time of installation, please see below for exact dimensions.
