Origin: English
Period: Edwardian
Provenance: Unknown
Date: c.1900-1910
Height: 17” (with ceiling rose)
Putti Length: 8”
Prism Fixture Diameter: 4” (all each)
The very pretty pair of spelter and prism glass hanging light fittings, each light comprising of a recumbent winged putti suspended from a fluted domed ceiling rose, the left hand holding a pendant light fixture decorated with prism cut glass drops and surviving from Edwardian period England.
The light fittings are in good overall condition. The wholes do not suffer from losses, cracks or restoration with a good, aged patination to the surfaces with the finish worn more heavily in some places than others. There are seven prism drops lacking from the pair but this isn’t utterly detrimental to the wholes.
This type of fitting featuring cherubs was also popular in the 1920s and are reminiscent of one of the greatest French Belle Époque sculptors Emile Bruchon (1806-1895). Their high Victorian style is reminiscent of fittings found on White Star Line ships such as RMS Titanic.
A wonderfully dramatic and enduringly romantic pair of lighting fixtures.
