Sardeis Chandelier

Sardeis is a candle-style chandelier set around a wide brass ring. Slim rods tie the ring to a central hub at the top and open like an umbrella. The socket sleeves are white-veined marble. At the bottom, on the end of the centre rod, hangs a small marble finial. The name comes from Sardeis (Sardis), the ancient Lydian capital near Salihli in Manisa. It is a new model drawn for Archilumos. Marble sleeves and round frosted-looking bulbs give a soft, milky light. Brass warms it, and the stone cools it back. The source gives no size, so ring diameter and drop are drawn to the project. Wipe the marble with a damp cloth and the brass with a dry one. It hangs in a large living room, an entrance hall or over a long banquet table. We settle material, tone and size at order.
