Gustavian Style Brass & Blue Glass Chandelier, Early 20th Century

There’s something about a Gustavian chandelier that feels instantly collected — light, a little delicate, but still grounded in structure.

This early 20th century brass chandelier is dressed with hanging prisms and finished with a soft blue glass cup at the base — a detail that gives it just enough color without overpowering a room. The five arms create a classic silhouette, while the prisms catch light in that quiet, understated way Gustavian pieces do so well.

It’s the kind of fixture that works just as beautifully in a bedroom as it does over a breakfast table — adding charm without trying too hard.
