Preciosa
The Masters of Crystal
Maria Theresa
| 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. |
