This stunningly crafted 7 light chandelier features an intricate scrolling design within the lead and brass of the fixture, 7 lovely Quezal shades, and 3 ferocious gargoyle faces within the looping arms. The craftsmanship of this chandelier is absolutely incredible!
The Quezal firm was founded in 1901 by Martin Bach Sr, Thomas Johnson, Nicholas Bach, Lena Scholtz, and Adolph Demuth, many of them former Tiffany employees. Their work was notable for its use of bold iridescent colors, such as blue, gold, purple, and green. From the beginning Quezal was considered the first real competition for Tiffany.
We find that early antique lighting was designed as objects of art and we treat each fixture with careful attention to preserve original beauty. Our fixtures are cleaned, rewired & are ready to hang, following UL standards. We can work with you on code requirements.
