Chandelier Sahure S

Dimensions: Ø 20 | H. 75 cm

Introducing the "Sahure Chandelier" by Eichholtz, a work of art inspired by a grand Egyptian column (ca. 2458–2446 B.C.) evocative of a date palm.

Now in The Met collection, this monumental column was one of 16 that surrounded an open courtyard in the pyramid temple of the pharaoh Sahure. Emulating the lines that articulate the granite column's palm-like form, the chandelier's smoked-glass elements exude an air of timeless elegance. This exquisite piece unites the spirit of ancient craftsmanship with modern luxury, adding an artful touch to any space.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Chandelier Sahure is inspired by the ancient Egyptian Palm Column of Sahure (ca. 2458–2446 B.C,.), which stood at over 21 feet high in its original state. The granite column that now stands in the Egyptian art galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of 16 that lined the perimeter of an open courtyard in the pyramid temple for the pharaoh Sahure. Our chandelier takes it design cues from the date-palm leaves portrayed at the top of the Museum’s column. The tiered elements of the chandelier are presented in smoked glass with a brushed-brass finish for a sophisticated look.
