Large Scale Wrought Iron & Cast Brass Plafonnier with Rare Jefferson Satin & Cut Crystal Bowl
An exceptional and large-scale church pendant plafonnier, combining a beautifully detailed Jefferson Glass Company satin and cut crystal bowl with a substantial wrought iron and cast brass frame. The design showcases a striking contrast between the crisp geometry of the ironwork and the delicate hand-cut star and swirl motifs in the Jefferson bowl — patterns confirmed against The Jefferson Glass Company catalogue (model 497 C 130).
The main ring is constructed from heavy wrought iron, supported by robust cast brass link chains and a three-way cast brass hanger. The impressive 16-inch diameter Jefferson bowl features a polished interior with a satin-etched exterior and precision-cut crystal detailing, producing a remarkable light effect when illuminated by the three-bulb B22 bayonet array.
A true statement piece for grand interiors, restoration projects, or luxury country house settings, offering exceptional craftsmanship and presence.

Fully restored, rewired, tested and ready for installation.
