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.
