Concentric tiers of vertical glass rods descend in a stepped cascade, each level suspended from a warm brass framework that gives the piece its architectural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen illuminated, the glass diffuses light evenly across its broad diameter, creating a soft, radiant glow. Measuring just under five feet in diameter and weighing nearly 450 pounds, the scale is commanding yet carefully balanced. Only seven examples were made, reflecting the bespoke nature of the original commission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA statement piece in the truest sense—designed not simply to light a room, but to define it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Christoph Palme\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Palme name is rooted in the Bohemian tradition of handcrafted crystal lighting, dating back to 1724. The family became known for producing chandeliers for European royalty, including the Austrian court, and for early innovations that shaped the form of the Maria Theresa chandelier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the centuries, Palme fixtures illuminated palaces, embassies, and landmark interiors. In the early-20th century, workshops in Germany carried the legacy forward, adapting the firm’s historic craftsmanship to modern forms. By the mid-20th century, Christoph Palme chandeliers paired brass frameworks with refined glass elements, often executed as custom commissions for large-scale interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chandelier reflects that lineage—centuries of tradition translated into scale, precision, and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease allow a 6 week lead time for adjustments and modifications to the installation hardware. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50374166642999,"sku":null,"price":9000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/ME4On7UrKzYFI5S_0nAKSFDb8QBE1gzJFsr99PlXCXo.jpg?v=1767380911","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/monumental-german-five-tier-brass-glass-chandelier-attributed-to-christoph-palme-1960s-2-available","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
