branch chandelier


The Branch Chandelier, in a warm golden light shows off the gold-leafed
hand-blown glass teardrops that hang from the bronze-colored branches.


The Branch Chandelier, bathed in a cool light.
Asymmetric and evocative.



A beautiful chandelier makes all the difference in a room. So why do apartments come with the most basic of fixtures with the most fluorescent of bulbs? If I had the guts to do some rewiring, which I don't, I would invest in a chandelier. This one, from ABC Carpet and Home is perhaps a bit out of my price range at $12,000, but is right up my aesthetic alley. The Branch Chandelier, made in Italy. Find it opposite the main entrance on the first floor.

  1. This reminds me of a branch chandelier that hangs in the Grand Central Market- right at the Lexington Ave entrance. If you haven't noticed or seen it for any reason, make sure you check it out when you hit up Joe, the art of Coffee in the Graybar passage (which I am going to try to check out tonight!)

    I thought the same thing! I love that chandelier at Grand Central. I will take a comparison photograph tomorrow and post it.
