Museum quality Edward F. Caldwell Hanging Silver repoussé work Chandelier
Exceptional and large 28" diameter hanging dome chandelier by Edward F. Caldwell (attrib) . The chandelier features an intricate hand worked repousse silver over bronze design of openwork grapes and vines through which amber colored stained glass can be seen when lights are turned on. The repousse hand work of grape vines and leaves in relief are very well executed and is on par with the work of Buccellati. The underside of the dome is amber colored stained glass and is illuminated with four lights. The chandelier also has four upward alabaster shades.
Caldwell was a competitor of Louis Comfort Tiffany for the fashionable and high end electrical lighting explosion that took off throughout Europe and the United states after the Paris Exposition Universelle lit up the skies at the turn of the century. Caldwell's designs and works are archived, studied for their historical significance, craftmanship and beauty. Examples are in the collections of the Smithsonian, Cooper Hewitt and other private and public institutions.
