With typically Italian influence, yet dusted with a touch of stylish 1920’s French Chateau, the beautiful Bellini fittings are dressed using antique quartz crystal and hand finished in an Oxidised Bronze finish. Wherever placed they will add opulence and class to their surroundings.
The earliest known crystal chandeliers were dressed with rock crystal quartz, a translucent form of crystal used only by the very wealthy as the rock was extremely rare and very difficult to work with. Each rock was hand carved and as the rock was so brittle larger facets of crystal were used to dress the chandelier often with slightly different sizes. Lighting in this era called for a fitting to be elaborately dressed in glass, crystal and quartz to capture and reflect as much of the reflection from the candle or early lamps as possible.
The Bellini mini pendant design is inspired by fittings of that era and uses larger facets of quartz in cascading streams. A single lamp is encased with a mass of quartz perfectly shaped into a globe. The outer frame is shaped with flowing loops and beads of quartz crystal. A wonderful design that will transform into a glittering mass of reflective light when illuminated.
A small ceiling pendant that is well suited to over a dining table or kitchen island, either singly or in multiples and perfect for a small bedroom, hallway or vestibule. Supplied with 150cm of chain that can be shortened at the time of installation, please see below for exact dimension.
