A breathtaking monumental crystal chandelier attributed to Schonbek, crafted in the late 20th century and showcasing the refined grandeur for which the Austrian firm is renowned. Standing nearly 5 feet tall, this impressive chandelier was clearly designed as a dramatic architectural statement, ideal for grand foyers, stairwells, or double-height living spaces. The chandelier features a gold-plated brass framework, expertly engineered to support cascading swags of precision-cut Austrian crystal. Hundreds of faceted crystal octagons form elegant vertical strands, accented by elongated crystal spear drops and a richly layered lower basket. When illuminated, the crystal produces exceptional brilliance and prismatic refraction, filling the space with warm, radiant light.
The overall silhouette draws inspiration from classical Empire and Viennese forms, executed with the clean symmetry and technical precision characteristic of Schonbek’s high-end production during the 1980s–1990s. The scale, crystal quality, and construction indicate a chandelier originally commissioned for a luxury residence or grand commercial interior.
