This type of chandelier was originally intended for candles - the arms are set into the body of the chandelier on pegs and can be easily removed, which allowed for quick cleaning from dripping wax. This characteristic principle of attaching the arms was used from the 16th century until the period of electrification and gasification. The chandelier was professionally and sensitively newly electrified. The surface-mounted wiring is designed with high-quality cables with gold-colored fabric braiding, which matches the historical appearance. All lines have double insulation according to applicable safety standards. The main supply cable is also gold-colored fabric braided, but in addition, three-core, i.e. including grounding. New sockets and new sockets imitating drops of wax have been installed, so the chandelier is fully functional and ready for immediate use. Decorative forged elements and massive cast arms underline the luxurious character of this luminaire. The brass patina gives the chandelier an authentic antique look and at the same time elegance, which will stand out in historical interiors, castles, villas or representative spaces.
