 553 - Rhyton Wall Sconce - This eclectic Rhyton iron wall sconce is a creative assemblage of a variety of parts from the past, creating a unique fixture for today, but with an overall appearance of being historic or traditional. The solid "S" or "C" scrolled arm was typical of the Flemish chandeliers of the 16th century. Decorative, draped chains date back to early Byzantine times, and rosettes appeared on eary Gothic cathedral ceilings in England. The metal and glass shade resemble the drinking vessels of trumpet and horn shapes dating from Assyrian, Minoan, and Greek civilizations. The love of a gold finish has remained a constant throughout history. Comes in a Venetian Gold finish with Golden Wash glass. Note:  6216-3 - Brussels Multi-Light Pendant - Echoing the forms of trailing vines, water plants and root systems, the curvilinear forms of this 3-light pendant's arms place it at the zenith of the early 20th century Art Nouveau period in Europe. The controlled linearity of the sinuous plant-like forms have the exuberance of the original continental fixtures. There was a vogue for multiple downlights supported by metal arms fashioned in the shape of plant tendrils emanating from a single root. The advent of electric lighting had given designers much greater scope than before, and the burst of creative energy of this period is amply captured in the visually exciting Brussels family of fixtures.Comes in a Bronze Patina finish with Frost Scavo glass.

Note:  597-1-21 - Maria Assunta Sconce - The Maria Assunta FamilyThe fascination with the Maria Assunta wall bracket lies in the uniqueness of the shade. It is the shade that appears to be in the evolution of becoming, a shade that is still in the preliminary state of molten glass, being slowly formed into a design that is still in the artist’s mind. Once regarded as a substitute of the semi-precious stones, glass making evolved in the eastern Mediterranean between 2500 and 1500 BCE. When glass blowing was discovered, it was transformed into an incredible diversity of useful objects. The Maria Assunta shades demonstrate the continuing exploration of the design potential of glass. .  6199-1 - Somerset Iron Pendant - The history of lighting fixtures provides a wealth of sources for design inspiration, as exemplified by this wrought iron Somerset pendant. For the creative mind, no one period should be overlooked. The concept of a removable hanging lantern can be traced to the late 15th century in Tudor England. Added to this concept is a flourish of Art Nouveau linearity in the iron support and glass shade resembling wrapped parchment. The result becomes a truly unique contemporary fixture.Comes in a Golden Graphite finish with Frost Clear Ice glass. Note:  651-1 - Maria Theresa Wall Sconce - This Maria Theresa wall sconce, as it is still universally known, is a style identified with the 18th century Empress of Austria. Typical of the foreign aristocracy making a state visit to France, and in particular to the Palace of Versailles, the Empress was both awed and enchanted by the magnificent crystal chandeliers of Louis XV's court. Although there were only a few chandelier craftsman in France and they were almost all exclusively patronized, the Empress was able to assert her power to have similar models made and installed in her palaces in Vienna.Note:  631-12 - Bohemian Katerina Chandelier - The “dressed chandelier” made its appearance after 1740. The English in particular favored heavily-draped fixtures with multiple swags of crystal buttons, for it was the skillful pastime of stylish ladies to redress the swags and pendants in different arrangements. When new prism shapes were introduced, chandeliers were often redressed in the latest fashionable taste.

Note:  6366-12-8 - Lorenco Twelve-Light Chandelier - The Lorenco Family The Lorenco twelve-light chandelier takes its inspiration from the great hanging iron fixtures of the late Gothic and early Renaissance periods in Western Europe. The large diameter hoop of silvered strap iron suspended on twisted iron rods is decorated with simplified arabesque scroll work. The term arabesque, which is used to identify the scrollwork, is commonly associated with Arab workmanship. Although a Persian invention, the scrollwork was incorrectly attributed it Arab origins since the Moors in Spain were such masters of the art. Note: Bulbs not included.  6456 - Cristallo Foyer Pendant - The Cristallo Wrought Iron foyer pendant features a Midnight Bronze finish. The improvement in glass making techniques made it possible in 16th century Venice to imitate fine, semi-precious rock crystal which was vulnerable to fracturing while being cut and polished. With this risk gone, lighting designers by the early 18th century had a myriad of crystal decorations available to ornament the framework of their chandeliers, the design potential of crystal glass having been fully explored. The flowers and foliage of nature remained a continuing source of design inspiration, and the intricate crystal buds, thrusting delicately outward and upward, continue this tradition on the Cristallo family of fixtures. Exquisite acanthus leaf-work overlaying the central frame and scrolled arms, and the decorative lace-like treatment of the front reinforce the imaginative artistry of the Italian design legacy.
