Chandelier

The nine-candle chandelier was made at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. It was made in the style of Louis XV, electrified. It forms a part of the Potoccy collection, and decorates the Rococo Hall on the first floor of the Castle. The metal structure of gilded bronze is made up of a thick rod bent into the shape of the letter S, and a base, on which a porcelain figurine stands, of a young woman with a turban in her hands. The figurine is painted pink, white and yellow. The entire chandelier is intertwined with small twigs and little flowers. The leaves and flowers are made of gilded bronze, and the flowers of white and pink porcelain. Over the entire surface of the chandelier, there are decorative full glass pendants. Some are shaped like water drops, some like pears. The porcelain figure of the young woman stems from the Paris copy factory of E. Samson. The chandelier in the Billiard Room stems from the Potoccy family collection; it is made of crystal glass, originally from the end of the 19th century; it might be English made, and is electrified, for 18 candles, and has two levels. The metal structural components are embedded in glass; the first level is made up of 12 arms bent into bows, upwards, ending in milky glass sleeves with light bulbs on bobeches of thin glass with a gilded border. The second level is made up of six arms, bent to shape, ground and finished diagonally with sleeves holding light bulbs. The entire chandelier is decorated with twelve pieces of cord, running from the top to the arms, with rectangular stair-ground crystals. The trunk and arms are decorated with vertical, triangle-shaped pendants.
