A RUSSIAN ORMOLU AND GREEN AND CUT COLORLESS GLASS EIGHTEEN-LIGHT CHANDELIER

In its overall design and use of distinctive cobalt-blue glass, this chandelier relates to the oeuvre of Johann Zech of St. Petersburg. A native of Geman origin, Zech, together with another artisan named Fisher, was responsible for many of the chandeliers in the Russian Imperial Palaces. Zech's influence, was widespread, and chandeliers of closely related design were both exported and made in Sweden and the Baltic.
