About the Item

One of the most unique and spectacular Mediterranean pendant light fixtures we have ever seen! A Tour de Force! Clear faceted crystals in basket form with elaborate detailed black iron crown, stem and canopy, ending in a black round iron finial. In the finest quality and fabrication. A one of a kind masterful piece with a refined ambiance from a palatial mansion in palm beach durning Addison Mizner’s Reign in early 20th century. Society architect Addison Mizner created the “Palm Beach style” with his design for the Everglades Club on Worth Avenue in 1918. He quickly found that he was not able to purchase through local suppliers the tile and iron work he needed for his Spanish design. He took over a blacksmith shop to make lighting fixtures and ornamental grills and built his own kilns to make the roof tiles. As his commissions grew, he purchased various Craft shops to supply the decor and materials for his projects. Mizner Industries grew into one of the largest manufacturing companies in Palm Beach in the 1920s. The company made tiles, hand made pottery, wrought iron and stamped metal fixtures, cast stone columns, windows and door surrounds, indoor and outdoor furniture, and art glass. The furnishings and other details were often distressed to give them the appearance of antiquity. Mizner Industries also imported antique furniture, decorative tiles, and other accessories to supplement the locally made products. Together these items helped furnish mansions through Palm Beach built in the “Mediterranean Revival” style. By the 1950s, these furnishings and details were no longer fabricated; many were lost in the demolition of Palm Beach estates or the various renovations of the Boca Raton Club. Mizner Industries products are a rarity on the market today, and very sought after.
