Feiss Bellini Regency Style 3 Light Crystal Wall Light Oxidised Bronze

This Feiss Bellini Regency style 3 light crystal wall light in oxidised bronze features larger facets of quartz in cascading streams. The centre of the light is based around the cartwheel frame, beautifully distressed and finished in an oxidized bronze. Three upward flowing arms extend from the cartwheel each having candle style lights, with a wide candle sconce and quartz crystal dressing. Although the cartwheel is the centre of the fitting, the focal point has to be the sculptured chained antique quartz crystal forming a web of reflection.

The earliest known crystal fittings were dressed with rock crystal quartz, a translucent form of crystal used only by the very wealthy as the rock was extremely rare and very difficult to work with. Each rock was hand carved and as the rock was so brittle larger facets of crystal were used to dress the chandelier often with slightly different sizes. Lighting in this era called for a fitting to be elaborately dressed in glass, crystal and quartz to capture and reflect as much of the reflection from the candle or early lamps as possible.

This large Bellini wall light design is inspired by fittings of that era and uses larger facets of quartz in cascading streams. Three lamp bulbs sit on candelabra arms with a mass of quartz perfectly draped to form the body. The outer frame is shaped with flowing loops and beads of quartz crystal. A wonderful design that will transform into a glittering mass of reflective light when illuminated.

A large wall light that gives plenty of light and well suited to any large dining room, living room, bedroom or hallway in a classic, traditional or period style.
