Description
One of two Swedish Jugendstil 3-arm chandeliers in polished brass. Each chandelier has been newly restored, polished and lacquered.

“Jugendstil” is a style which emerged towards the end of the 19th century in northern and central Europe. There were many influences which created this new or “young” style, one of which was a return to hand crafted quality furniture and decorative arts, another being the focus on the natural world as inspiration rather than retreaded forms of classism. The “vine” form, seen in these chandelier’s arms became a defining expression of the period’s style.
