Chandeliers bearing the name of Empress Maria Theresa span more than three centuries,
first produced 1743 in honor of her coronation as Queen of Bohemia. All Maria Theresa chandeliers
include a flat metal arm encircled with strips of glass joined with rosettes and beads. The following
pages depict PRECIOSA’s updated interpretation of this classic design, including three new
variations of ROI and two of the classical BARON, one in the traditional style, the other in
a more contemporary design with a metallic finish.
