About the Item

This French Art Nouveau gilt bronze and glass lantern chandelier by Hector Guimard, features glass panels of blue-green and amethyst, framed by gilt bronze whiplash designs. This stunning chandelier features gently-rippled glass that leave the impression of staring into pools of water, turned colors by the tide. The curvilinear framing of the gilt bronze on the bright aqua blue glass panels, with its wispy detailing and dramatic roundness, are contrasted beautifully by the stark and straight verticality of the amethyst glass panels. Item #: EL-19788 Artist: Hector Guimard Circa: 1900-1905 Dimensions: 19" shade upper diameter, 15" shade lower diameter, 16.5" shade height (drop height adjustable with chain) Materials: Glass, Gilt bronze Literature: Related chandelier pictured in Louis C. Tiffany: The Garden Museum Collection, by Alastair Duncan, Woodbridge, 2004, p. 608; Related chandelier pictured in Philippe Thiébault, Guimard, exh. cat., Musée d'Orsay, Paris, 1992, pp. 362, 375-381, and 384-385 Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: The bronze plates of this chandelier feature cattails curving gracefully into elegant cartouches. The design was created to harmonize with the lily-of-the-valley (muguet) motif on the lintel of the apartment building at 43 rue de Gros, one of Guimard’s earliest residential commissions.

Pair of Tiffany Studios New York "Globe" Glass and Bronze Chandeliers
By Tiffany Studios, Louis Comfort Tiffany
Located in New York, NY
This enchanting pair of Tiffany Studios New York "hanging globe" chandeliers are composed of two reticulated glass shades. Tiffany’s idea of blowing glass through openwork bronze had evolved in the 1890s with a series of Byzantine revival fuel lamps. The technique was popularized by 19th-century Muranese Glassmakers Salvati as a derivation of the Ancient Roman cage cup (vasa diatreta). In the 4th century, Roman glassmakers encased blown glass vessels in a delicate cage of glass. In Tiffany’s version, glass is blown through an ogival pattern cage. Originating in 11th-century Byzantine textiles, the ogival pattern became established in Italy, Ottoman Turkey, North Africa, and as far west as the Balkans.
