In the store: Chandeliers by Sciolari and Greene

Several days ago, I posted about the installation of the huge light designed by Gaetano Sciolari, but I didn't give you a very good look at it. I was too busy breathing into a paper bag so I wouldn't hyperventilate after looking at the huge ladder in my SIL's photo.

The light measures 48"W x 48"D x 91"H (123 cm x 123 cm x 231 cm). It is made of brass and bronze and has 37 lighted Lucite cubes. The light is part of Sciolari's Cubic series and is in excellent original condition.

Now that the ladder has safely been removed, I can enjoy looking at the light...and I hope you will too.

We also have a new brutalist chandelier by Tom Greene for Feldman that I haven't shown you before. Look at this magnificent piece.

The lights fantastic

Yesterday was Live-Dangerously-on-a-Ladder Day at the store...and I'm very glad I wasn't there. The ceilings are perilously high, and my SIL scares me half to death with his impression of a high-wire performer when he hangs lighting. It's quite the challenge to avert my eyes from all that bending and balancing, shrieking "OMG...I can't look...Be careful, be careful," and retrieve his dropped tools at the same time. It's better for him to work alone.

His risking life and limb paid off handsomely though, because he got two beautiful chandeliers up and glowing. The first is a 12-light Lightolier in polished nickel and black. The second is a dramatic 12-light brutalist piece designed by Tom Greene for Feldman.
