ICONIC & NEW INTERPRETATIONS
Maria Theresa
METAL & GLASS ARM DESIGNS
What makes the Maria Theresa so iconic is the
metal arms covered in crystal. Typically, there is no
supporting central bar; instead the chandelier centre
is an extension of the design. The hand-blown, hand-
cut crystal sphere hanging from the bottom acts as
a balancing support. These chandeliers are richly
decorated with crystal trimmings, whose facets refract
the light thousands of times over. The star trimmings
are hand-pressed and glass rosettes cover the arms.
Every detail is handcrafted perfection.
The Maria Theresa historic wall sconce is the perfect
complement to long hallways and staircases. The table
lamp surrounds a space with the sparkle of crystal
while the floor lamp provides the opportunity to study
Bohemian craftsmanship up close.
