Chandeliers are the cream of the lighting crop, adding elegance to the practical nature of room lighting. Even the sound of the name sounds highbrow and expensive, and we at LRM Interior Design love the many different styles and materials that chandeliers are made of. As usual, it was very difficult to narrow down our list to just five, but here they are.
Jaeger 6-Tier Horn Chandelier
1. Jaeger 6-Tiered Horn Chandelier: Our love affair with capiz-shell chandeliers is still strong, don’t worry—after all, they helped us win one of our ASID awards! But it will have to share our hearts with this Jaeger horn chandelier, as the color and shape of the horn pieces are gorgeous. The hammered antique brass canopy is beautiful, as is the light diffused by the polished pieces of horn. This is a light fixture that does not melt into the background, but is rather more of an attention-getter—we must feel like it’s one of the LRM gang…
St. Tropez Boutique's Moroccan Chandeliers
2. Moroccan Chandelier: Another lighting fixture that’s not shy, and this one is not for small spaces. Can you say “detail?” The intricacy of metalwork on this piece is incredible, as is the overall shape and scale of it. Perfect for a double-story entry hall or great room, but also fantastic for a large outdoor space. These are handmade in Casablanca, Morocco, and are as authentic as a souk. Find this style and more at Saint Tropez Boutique.
Alison Berger's unique hand-scripted glasswork
3. Scripted Pendant Chandelier: Now, for something very modern, and very different. Alison Berger was inspired by fireflies and the stars to create her undeniably unique lighting pieces. We love her pieces with hand-scripted pendants, because when they’re lit up, the writing is projected on tho the surrounding surfaces to create a wonderful, ethereal mood. Jan Smith, Senior Designer at LRMID, sums it up for all of us when she says: “Brilliant design from Alison.”
2nd Ave's Calandra Chandelier
4. Calandra Chandelier: In California, we are surrounded by Spanish accents, with white stuccoed buildings with red tile roofs. Here we have a 2nd Ave design that echoes the days of California’s beginnings. The handcrafted scrollwork has an authentic feel, and as the photo shows, is just as comfortable in an outdoor setting as it is indoors in an entryway or over a large dining table. We also like the fact that 2nd Ave has been handcrafting their lighting pieces in an eco-friendly factory in the United States since 1979.
Ebanista's Carrillo Chandelier
5. Carrillo Chandelier: This chandelier from Ebanista is the belle of this blog’s ball. With the metalwork edged with crystals and the perfect number of pendants, the Carrillo is elegance defined. Did we mention that the pendants are not leaded crystal, but actually rock crystal? Yes, that’s one of the many details that sets this chandelier apart. Ebanista is known for their unique interpretation of European classics, and this chandelier is like royalty. And like a princess, the Carrillo only fits in to the most refined of environments.
