It’s fun to share my favorites at epoca! New to the gallery is this very cool and shimmering 8-light chandelier by Swedish glass designer Carl Fagerlund for Orrefors Glassworks. This circular chandelier has eight pie-shaped curved and textured crystal segments supported by a brass fixture. Carl Fagerlund was internationally recognized for his unique and cutting edge lighting designs at Orrefors Glassworks during the 1960’s through 70’s and I’m proud that we have a great example to share with you.
Come and see this chandelier at 1700 16th Street, San Francisco at Kansas. That’s epoca and the new home of Garden Court Antiques. See you soon!
