Dugurc designed this chandelier for Grand Duke Paul of Russia, later Tsar Paul i. The blue parts were intended to be executed in Sèvres porcelain, the yellow ones in gilt bronze, and the drops were to be of rock-crystal. This grandiose object, which was to have a height of approximately 150 cm, was never executed.
