About the product

Antique Early 1900s Indian Hand-Carved Wooden Chandelier

Sculptural Four-Arm Pendant Light | Solid Teakwood | Timeless Heritage Statement

Invite old-world elegance into your home with this rare antique wooden chandelier, handcrafted in India in the early 20th century. A remarkable deviation from traditional brass or iron lighting, this piece is shaped entirely from solid wood—likely seasoned teak—featuring graceful scrollwork and timeless symmetry across four sculpted arms.

Originally suspended in the foyers and halls of noble Indian homes or colonial-era estates, its all-wood construction and ornamental silhouette offer both historical charm and sophisticated presence.

Architectural Elegance

With a masterfully carved central body and outwardly radiating arms, this chandelier balances form and proportion. Each scroll is shaped with a lightness that defies its robust material. The natural warm patina and untouched surface bear subtle age marks—proof of its storied past.

Key Features

  • Period & Provenance: Early 1900s origin, hand-carved in India

  • Material: Solid wood—likely teakwood—durable and time-softened

  • Design: Ornamental scroll arms with a turned wood centre

  • Arms: Four sculpted extensions designed to hold bulbs (not wired)

  • Finish: Natural medium wood tone with rich vintage patina

  • Condition: Structurally sound with age-consistent surface wear

  • Rewiring: Will require electrical fitting to be used as a chandelier

Cultural & Historical Context

All-wood chandeliers were occasionally commissioned for elite residences or ceremonial pavilions in India, combining local materials with European silhouettes. This rare surviving example bridges Indian craftsmanship with colonial design tastes.

Styling Tip

Suspend above a farmhouse dining table, in a heritage entryway, or boutique hospitality space. Its sculptural form brings warmth and conversation to minimalist, rustic, Indo-European, or bohemian interiors. For modern use, pair with dimmable filament bulbs and discreet wiring for a glowing blend of old and new.
