Mazarin Chandelier

Cast Brass · Ruby Glass · Louis XIV / Régence Vocabulary · Three Sizes

A French Régence-style chandelier in the Louis XIV vocabulary that defined Beaux-Arts dining rooms in Gilded Age America — sand-cast brass acanthus arms scroll outward from a central ruby-glass urn, capped above by a brass crown of foliate scrollwork and resolved below in a smaller ruby-glass finial. Each candle arm carries a brass bobeche and rises to an open candle socket.

The brass castings are chased and hand-finished in the manner of period French ciseleurs; the ruby glass is hand-blown in the Bohemian-cased tradition. Suited to formal dining rooms, primary entry foyers, two-story foyers, and great-room interiors in 5,000+ sq ft estates, luxury hotels, and Federal, Greek Revival, Beaux-Arts, and Second Empire historic-restoration projects.

Hand-blown ruby glass — variation is character. Glass tone, internal bubbles, and surface flow vary fixture to fixture; brass casting carries hand-chased detail.

Reinforced ceiling support recommended. Approx. 25–45 kg (55–100 lbs) assembled — your electrician should anchor to a joist or use a code-rated fixture brace.

Product Notes

Installation

• Licensed electrician required. Hardwired ceiling pendant via supplied canopy plate and chain.
• Specialist installer recommended. Cast-brass arms and ruby-glass urn must be handled with care during un-crating — never lift by the arms alone.
• Confirm ceiling support. 25–45 kg assembled exceeds standard junction-box rating — code-rated fixture brace or joist anchor required.
• Hang the lower finial 30–34″ above the dining table, or 7 ft+ above the foyer floor in walking zones.
• Bulbs supplied by installer. 6, 8, or 12 × E12 clear candle LED at 2700K — clear envelope reads best with the ruby glass urn.
