A EDWARDIAN ORMOLU MOUNTED CEILING LIGHT
REF: FA1566
A finely crafted Edwardian ceiling light, combining the opulence of ormolu with the refined sparkle of cut glass. The circular mount is richly adorned with a scrolling foliate frieze and acanthus-leaf detailing, from which descend elegant scrolled supports holding a deeply cut and frosted glass dome shade.
The opaque glass bowl features a beautiful pattern of diamond and fluted cuts that diffuse the light with subtle brilliance, while the warm tones of the gilded mount lend an air of stately grandeur. This harmonious pairing of materials exemplifies the Edwardian taste for luxury and craftsmanship in domestic lighting.
Perfect for an entrance hall, library, or formal drawing room, this fixture embodies the balance of functionality and ornament that defined late 19th century interior design.
