Antique Chandelier Crystal with Natural Cotton Twine
Chain of three each crystals and original pins, and natural cotton twine
2.5 inches (6 cm) total length, 1 1/8 inches (3 cm) diameter
This crystal and the others offered in our store are from an accumulation of fixtures and loose elements that became a collection. They were hand selected from flea markets, antique stores, and tags sales over many years. Each is hand-cut, hand-blown, or molded into vessels created to refract, reflect, bend, and separate light into its constituent colors. As prisms they are ephemeral, esoteric, and almost mystical as objects.
Crystal is a type of glass that contains lead oxide, making them more dense, more refractive, and sparkle a lot more than glass. The lead also makes them heavier, and more delicate. As is typical with antiques, many have accumulated dings, and small chips over the years - not just the crystals, but also the pins, if there are pins.
