(A) I'm convinced that the French got their inspiration for their art glass lighting fixtures by watching sunrises (few) and sunsets (many), which can be spectacular, with a wide range of colors.  Of course in France it's all about the vineyards, so why wouldn't metalwork reflect the leaves and twisting vines of their favorite plant? 

Wouldn't this light just be the soup-to-nuts in the entryway to your Napa wine cellar?  Those luscious purples will have you drooling before you've opened that next bottle.  If you're not fortunate enough to have that Napa weekend home, put it in your New York Soho apartment and pretend, just pretend...

Fully rewired and outfitted with American standard-based sockets, allowing you to install whatever size bulbs you like. Measurements: about 28 x 28 x 37 long  (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(B) "P" is for Putti, and also for Porcelain (the Precious Porcelain flowers), and don't forget Perfection!!! This is the first bronze putti fixture I've ever had -- they've previously all been fabricated of white metal (also know as "spelter"). And this bronze putti has its original gilt finish in extremely fine condition. Who could ask for more? My Cutie Putti hangs 22 inches long. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(C) Three splendid, hand-blown American "calcite" art glass shades by Quezal (signed) adorn this fanciful, ornate 1910-vintage French solid brass chandelier, its original gold finish now largely having succumbed to Father Time's forces (all the more glorious for the true antique fancier!). Rewired and fitted with American candelabra sockets. Hanging about 29 inches long, 22 across. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
