Turning the Past into Stunning Decor for Today.
This breathtaking, one-of-a-kind geometric lantern chandelier is a bespoke masterpiece curated and meticulously hand-finished by Turtle and Crane. Designed for the collector who understands that lighting is the jewelry of the home, this fixture has been elevated from a classic architectural silhouette into a spectacular work of art.
Strongly styled after the legendary maximalist interiors of Tony Duquette and the vibrant glamour of Dorothy Draper, the crisp, modern outer cage features a multi-layered, hand-painted faux malachite finish. The rich, swirling emerald greens are painstakingly rendered to capture the depth and luxury of real gemstone, echoing iconic patterns like Schumacher's 'Xanadu'. To create breathtaking visual depth and contrast, the interior candelabra and central rod have been treated with a warm, hand-applied antiqued gold gilt finish, providing a soft, sophisticated glow that radiates luxury.
This fixture is the ultimate anchor for a colorful Palm Beach Regency dining room, a bold Hollywood Regency entryway, or a lush, curated Maximalist living space. It commands attention while maintaining a clean, open geometric form that never feels heavy.
