Preciosa Chandeliers |

Classic Bohemian crystal is known throughout the world for its quality and brilliance. Its history stretches back to the 16th century. Lavishly hand-cut, blown glass parts prevail on these fixtures. To highlight its features, the crystal is sometimes decorated with golden paint. The sumptuous and impressive appearance of crystal jewels is complemented with the trimmings of various shapes and sizes. Brilliance, purity and perfect light diffusion are the outstanding properties of our Premium trimmings. Another one of many options available is trimmings of Bohemian Crystal, so typical for traditional manufacturing in Bohemia.
These ravishing fixtures were inspired by a chandelier made for Maria Theresa in Bohemia in the mid 18th century. However, not only the empress became fond of it; so did many others who fancied the style and the majestic manners after her. Typical elements are metal arms overlaid with glass bars and decorated with crystal rosettes. Originally, the trimming was made of typical flat drops, called “pendles“. Today, trimmings of various shapes are used.
The ornamental tastes of the past times and the peaceful atmosphere of the world of our ancestors when time was running at a much slower pace are brought in the interiors with our cast fixtures. Their manufacturing begins with sand casting, a hundred-year-old technique. Our master foundry men followed by chasers and metal chisellers complete each part separately by hand. The products are finished with various kinds of patina and decorations of embossed ornaments. Hand cut or machine cut trimmings are available here as well. In a way, any of these chandeliers is a work of art. A facet that one can see it immediately. |
