Sample Project
Chandelier for Coastal California Home
This client requested a chandelier for above the dining room table with only two specifications. It was to be white and produced in the Venetian style. Intended for a coastal home, I incorporated traditional Venetian bowl, light cups and armbacks, but diverted the design of the chandelier arms to reflect the coastal setting. Thus, each arm reaches out in a random pattern, amorphous and almost jellyfish like. In addition, an elongated glass stem to the ceiling and a custom made finial completes the natural illusion.
Sample Project
Chandelier for Coastal California Home
Canopy hand blown to size with a folded lip detail where it meets the ceiling. It has been drilled, ground and polished to accept a 5/8" threaded nipple bolted to a chrome loop.
Stem hand blown in two pieces a trumpet shape that meets the bowl and a long tube that has been cut to size to let the chandelier hang precisely 30" from the top of the dinning room table. Both elements are connected by large clear glass beads that have been ground, polished and glued together.
Cuphand blown large enough to cover the light fixture but short enough to allow the decorative bulb to peek out of the top. This has also been ground and polished on the bottom to seat correctly on the arm.
Armhand blown in four different styles and cut to size. A 3/8" nipple is glued at both ends of each arm. At one end a standard chandelier fixture is screwed in and the other is bolted into the main stem. Each arm is then wired by a UL approved electrician.
Bowlhand blown to cover all the inner workings of the fixture. The bottom is ground and polished flat and then drill to allow a 3/8" threaded rod through.
Finialhand blown with ground facets and A 3/8" nut is glued inside. finial just screws to the main stem, holding the bowl in place.
