Lamp; Spain, 20th century

Lamp; following French models of Louis XV; Spain, twentieth century.
Crystal.
Presents faults in the lighters.
Measurements: 103 x 96 cm.
Ceiling lamp of twelve lighters, following French models of Louis XV aesthetics, with a structure practically hidden by the caireles, garlands and crystal teardrops. This design in colorless glass, showing different types of carving, multiplies with its facets the brightness of the light, giving the lamp a light and sumptuous appearance. The cut glass beads function as refracting elements of the light, diffusing a soft, elegant and rich illumination in its multiple sparkles. This type of chandelier derives from the great luminous crowns of medieval churches, which will be loaded with ornaments in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, until finally reaching its current lavish form in the eighteenth century, when they will even be made with rock crystal beads.
