This small and gorgeous Dresden porcelain chandelier has three undulating arms with hanging floral bouquet baubles. Exceptional artistry, exemplifying a revival of the Rococo style. The body is made of an opulent white porcelain hand-painted and appointed with florals and gold detailing, whereas the light covers are separate cylinders made from a shimmering milk glass that mimics the look of porcelain.

Dresden porcelain was a German company for the production of decorative and luxury porcelain. Founded in 1872 by designer Carl Thieme, originally ‘The Saxon Porcelain Manufactory of Carl Theime in Potschappel-Dresden’, which later became known as the Saxonian Porcelain Factory and then the Dresden Porcelain Manufactory. The town of Dresden was an important center of high-quality Rococo-style porcelain sculpture and tableware during the late 19th and 20th Centuries. The history of porcelain in Dresden has been intimately linked to the history of the nearby town of Meissen, which was the first in Europe to produce hard-paste porcelain ware. Most Dresden porcelain pieces were decorated in the Rococo revival style, and feature distinctive shell and flower decorations like this piece.

This stunning fixture is the perfect floral centerpiece, making it a wonderful addition to any home looking for a feminine touch.

The chandelier is in good condition with vibrant floral decorations and intact porcelain. Rewired for the US, it takes three candelabra-sized lights, either incandescent or LED. Please note that this fixture requires a canopy and chain, which are not included. There are three feet of wire at the top, which can be adjusted to your preferred height.

Hand-made item, no part is perfect. There are signs of misalignment: the inside metal ring supporting the body is partially visible where it connects to the crown, and the stem is slightly misaligned, leaning, a bit, to one side when viewed from the bottom.

There are a few blemishes: one of the bauble flowers has a flea-bite chip, and all three bobeches have similar small chips (see images). The bottom of the stem has an intact hairline fracture (see image). Despite these minor issues, the chandelier remains elegant and functional.

Given the style and the blue crown hallmark, it is likely that this chandelier was produced some time in the early to the mid-20th century.

To ensure safe shipping, the chandelier will be disassembled. Buyers are encouraged to review all provided images for a comprehensive understanding of the chandelier’s condition.
