This chandelier was commissioned through Luxe Lighting in Seattle. It’s a wonderful lighting boutique that always has a few of my lamps on display. One of their clients saw my blooming floor lamp and wondered if I could make a chandelier using the blooming idea. This is what I came up with for them.

The rectangular canopy is bronze anodized aluminum. The adjustable drop tubes are aluminum and brass. The rest of the fixture is copper with a hand rubbed, oxidized, bronze tone finish. Everything has a wax topcoat. The hemmed, bronze screen blooms hold a vintage style bulb that can be up to 75w. Since it was a dining room table fixture it needed down lighting as well. A second tube was added below the bloom tubes. They each hold two LED, bi-pin bulbs. There is an acrylic lens at the bottom to help defuse the light. The lens was heated until the acrylic started to bubble. This gave it a nice cast glass look. The top side of the lens was sanded to further diffuse the light. It is held in place with a custom, faceted, brass, half round ball. The chandelier is 60" long by 12" wide at the top of the blooms.
