Empire-style Chandelier after Schinkel, probably Berlin, early 20th Century

Impressive twelve-arm Empire-style chandelier featuring a scalloped ring adorned with finely detailed acanthus motifs and a rich arrangement of faceted glass prisms. The central shaft rises in two tiers above gently curved supports, decorated with stylized palm leaves—reflecting the neoclassical aesthetic associated with Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Later fitted for electricity.
