About the Item

This large and spectacular German eight-light chandelier is made after the design by the famous architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841) in the manufactory of Schwitzky Mencke. The circular bowl suspended by chains from a corona modelled with a pierced foliate rim, decorated with anthemion and palmette motifs and issuing eight scrolling foliate branches with circular drip-pans and flared nozzles, terminating in a pinecone boss with gadrooned collar. The restrained neoclassical form of the chandelier is characteristic for the work of the celebrated Berlin architect and designer Karl Friedrich Schinkel. There is a design drawing for a similar chandelier with the same anthemion motifs. A closely related chandelier of almost identical shape and proportions is in the Gartensaal of the Schinkel-Pavillion at Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin (see H.-J. Giersberg, et. al., Preussische Königsschlösser in Berlin und Potsdam, Leipzig, 1992, p. 246.); while a pair of candelabra from the Palais of Emperor Wilhelm I as well as a cut-glass decorated chandelier in giltwood and metal share the characteristic lily-shaped nozzles with small gadrooned drip-pans beneath (illustrated in H. Börsch-Supan, et al., Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Berlin, 1981, p. 315, cat. 273-274). Carl August Mencke and Schwitzky worked for the K.P.M. Factory in Berlin before Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III gave them the manufacture patent for the invention of bronzed wood. From then Mencke played a major role in numerous interiors designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
