Osler\u003c\/strong\u003e, retaining its original gilt bronze gallery with finely cast classical decoration. Acquired as part of a significant collection of approximately 200 pieces drawn directly from the archive of \u003cstrong\u003eW. Sitch \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/strong\u003e, London. At over half a metre in diameter, this is a hall-scale fitting of genuine architectural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Glass\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bowl is executed in thick hand-cut crystal with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-gloss polished exterior and satin-finished interior\u003c\/strong\u003e — a technically demanding treatment distinctive of F. \u0026amp; C. Osler's finest architectural production. The exterior is worked with a bold \u003cstrong\u003eradiating fan-cut and overlapping petal relief\u003c\/strong\u003e, each lobe deeply and precisely defined, graduating from rim to base. When illuminated, the satin interior produces a warm even glow while the polished exterior relief reads with full sculptural clarity. Unlit, the depth of the cutting and the quality of the crystal are immediately apparent. This is hand-cut crystal to a standard that no longer exists in production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Frame\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe original \u003cstrong\u003egilt bronze gallery\u003c\/strong\u003e is pierced with arched slot apertures and punctuated by \u003cstrong\u003eraised floral rosette medallions\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The fitting suspends from an original decorative ceiling plate via cast brass link chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eProvenance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFounded in 1776 and trading from Soho for over two centuries, \u003cstrong\u003eW.
