The chandelier is an integral element of interior design. You can say they are the centerpiece of light design. epoca has some of the most beautiful chandeliers, pendants, lanterns and sconces.
Chandeliers infuse drama like these twin mid-century Murano chandeliers which we envision sparkling over a holiday dining table. And chandeliers can be welcoming as we imagine this mid-century Murano Clear Glass Bullicante pendant by Seguso strategically placed in a foyer or hall.
Chandeliers offer a little bit of everything: Rococo ornateness, Neoclassical simplicity, Murano elegance, contemporary intrigue -- invariably the results will be stylish, stimulating, and certain to impress!

William Stanisich Watercolors and other works presented by epoca Artist Statement: Why A Signature Style? by William Stanisich. I am drawn to specific light and idiosyncratic forms whenever I encounter them. A few years ago I had a recognition scene. I had been working to capture the light and inner forms of a number of places around the world. But what could be more idiosyncratic and inexhaustible than Land's End? [..] Two distinct series of Milos paintings are included in this website. I have been to Greece six times, never trying to recover antiquity but always seeking clarity and radiance. [..] I love to paint the Night. The first two series of watercolors in this website play with ambiguous spaces and veiled or insolent color, all at Night, which is itself ecstatic and sinister.
