Heritage & Regional Influences

Mediterranean Ironwork Origins

Since medieval times, wrought iron has ornamented gates, balconies, and lanterns throughout Southern Europe. Spanish mission blacksmiths combined Moorish geometry with colonial forms, while Italian artisans in Florence and Siena elevated scrolls into architectural motifs.

Spanish, Tuscan & Provencal Traditions

Our chandelier synthesizes Spanish mission scrollwork, Tuscan teardrop loops inspired by villa fountains, and the rustic curves found in French country farmhouses—creating a versatile design that transcends any single regional style.

Design & Construction

Hand-Forged Craftsmanship

Premium mild-steel rods are heated to 1,600°F in gas-fired forges, then shaped on anvils into six graceful arms and a central teardrop loop. Craftsmen secure each joint with rivets and discreet welds, then planish surfaces to refine texture and eliminate sharp edges.

Materials & Finishes

• Matte-Black Powder Coat – Highlights hammered details and resists indoor humidity.
• Bronze Accent Wash – Subtle metallic highlights along scrolls.
• Verdigris Patina – Soft green washes evoke aged Mediterranean ironwork.

Applications & Styling

Dining Rooms & Kitchens

Hang the chandelier over a stone-topped island in a Tuscan kitchen, or center it above a reclaimed wood dining table in a Spanish Colonial setting. Use warm LED filament bulbs to enhance its inviting glow.

Foyers & Living Areas

Suspend the fixture in a vaulted-ceiling foyer with terracotta floors and dark wood beams, or over a French country living room with linen drapes and limestone accents. It anchors the space and casts sculptural shadows.
