Manfred Schotten Antiques Chandeliers and Pendants

Stunning mineral stone pendant with wonderful colors in a unique brass frame. The designer and artist who created this Arts & Crafts work of lighting art must have been inspired by the wonderful colors that mother nature has to offer in the late afternoons and evenings in the summer. Especially the copper red light that the sun creates when disappearing under the horizon seems the source of inspiration for this artist. With the colors in this particular alabaster shade AND in the brass 'frame' corresponding with the marvelous colors at sundown this one of a kind pendant really is a joy to own and to look at. In our experience it is also at that time of day that swallows are the most active. Just like the embossed swallows in this shade we too have seen them circling above and around a swimming pool in the Canary Islands. By the way, the workmanship that has gone into hand-crafting this remarkable chandelier is of a level that you don't find anymore in this day and age. Never mind the amount of time it must have taken to first hand-draw and then completely hand-craft this gem. We have said it many times before and we will say it again here: both with the light switched on and off, the colors in this alabaster shade are much warmer and much more beautiful than in our photos. You can take our word for it. Because of the many colors and 'patches' one could also say that this pendant (when looking at it from different sides and angles) has many faces. That too is the beauty of surrounding yourself with truly natural materials. Together with the hand hammered (or embossed) swallows this alabaster shade pendant...

Stunning, sizeable and highly decorative Arts & Crafts light fixture. This gorgeous, five-light chandelier is another one of our recent great finds. Inspired by the beauty of nature and wildlife and motivated by the renewed interest in anything handmade, many Arts & Crafts designers and craftsman around the world have created some of the most interesting decorative art in the history of mankind. This hand-crafted and circular chandelier too is the result of a great design and an equally impressive execution which makes this antique an absolute joy to own and look at. The organic design with its stylized flower motifs and the unique and colorful glass panels incorporated in that design has created a work of lighting art that will never fail to impress. The stunning, hand hammered canopy with the perfectly inserted 4 lights is an important feature of this work of lighting art, but the hand-forged body of this pendant with its amazing patina is at least as impressive. The overal shape, the unique decor, its impressive size and its second to none patina make this one of a kind chandelier stand out like no modern light fixture ever could. If you already have a place and a space in mind for it then this fixture could be yours to enjoy soon. The workmanship that has gone into creating this chandelier and the sustainable materials that were used, make sure that this work of lighting art will last for centuries and that it can be enjoyed by many generations to come. Mind you, this work of lighting art too will be professionally rewired (to the highest standard) for safe and immediate usage the world over. And if you like this grand pendant light...
