Description

A beautiful Venetian glass chandelier, adorned with eight serpentine arms, each bearing a frosted tulip-shaped virina (glass shade), and four gracefully scrolled stems illuminates the Sala Mayor. Luminous luster cascades from this magnificent fixture, cast a brilliant illumination throughout the space.

Draped elegantly from the canopy to the receptacles cradled by the sinuous snake arms, a mesmerizing array of swags graces the chandelier. These swags comprise circular, rectangular, and spear-shaped prisms, arranged in eight stunning strands.

At the base of the chandelier, a grand urn adds to its opulence, providing support for the sinuous arms. The central shaft, comprised of ornate bowl sections, hosts an enchanting collection of hanging prisms. Adorning the exterior of the substantial urn are two rows of exquisite spear prisms, enhancing the chandelier's regal charm.

Crowning this masterpiece is a pointed finial, completing the captivating assemblage, which harmoniously combines elements from various fixtures.

This item is part of Museo de La Salle’s Santos Joven Panlilio collection which boasts of antique turn-of the-century furniture and decorative furnishings from the family’s ancestral home in Bacolor, Pampanga. Some pieces were collected through the years by art connoisseur, antique collector and interior designer Jose Ma. Ricardo Panlilio, the museum’s founding director.
