Fire and Ice Chandelier


The primary portion of this recently completed piece was taken from a solid brass, 50’s pendant comprised of a large orb with sculpted arms and leaf-ornate shade holders. Its original glass shades have each been replaced by 12 individual strings of Swarovski prisms which now surround 4 vintage-style Edison bulbs creating the impression of cascading crystals of ignited ice.


Hand-polished to a gloss, this element of the fixture is suspended from a smaller brass oval ball by lengths of 
decorative brass chain which, in turn, hang from a large diameter, equally ornate canopy.


From top to bottom, the fixture measures 31" with a maximum width of 17". Totally unique and one-of-a-kind, this custom made chandelier would definitely become the focal point of any residential commercial venue in which it was displayed. $1795.00
