There are pieces of décor that simply enhance a space… and then there are pieces that redefine it entirely. This magnificent three-arm candelabra from Shannon Crystal – Designs of Ireland stands proudly in the latter category, embodying the artistry, clarity, and old-world refinement for which Shannon is celebrated. Formed in brilliant 24% lead crystal, it carries a luminous depth that captures the eye instantly, refracting light with a quiet drama reserved for only the most elegant of centerpieces.
Each arm curves outward in a graceful, fluid sweep, supporting sculpted candle cups whose flared rims cascade downward into intricate, diamond-cut detailing. From these cups hang delicate strands of faceted prisms—crystal drops that sway gently with even the slightest movement. When candlelight plays across them, they awaken in a soft choreography of sparkle and shadow, bringing warmth, movement, and romance to the room.
The central column, beautifully proportioned and rich with hand-cut texture, rises from a wide, faceted crystal base. This base alone feels like a work of art: solid, substantial, and meticulously crafted to anchor the piece with harmony and balance. Together, the arms, prisms, and pedestal create a silhouette that feels both classic and dramatic—an unmistakable nod to European parlor lighting and vintage evening grandeur.
This example is particularly special, retaining both its original maker’s label and its original presentation box, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a crystal centerpiece that has been admired, preserved, and passed down with care. Whether displayed on a dining table, set upon a formal buffet, styled with seasonal florals, or used to illuminate a quiet evening gathering, it transforms the atmosphere with a rare and undeniable presence.
A striking blend of heritage, artistry, and timeless elegance—this candelabra is more than décor. It is an heirloom of light, luxury, and enduring beauty.
