Ceres: Quartz Crystal Spherical Eight-Light Chandelier

The Ceres chandelier by John Richard arrests the eye with eight points of light suspended within a composition of iron and quartz crystal — raw stone and refined metalwork held in quiet, spherical tension. Finished in antique gold, the frame carries the warmth of an aged patina that deepens the natural translucency of each quartz element, allowing light to move through mineral and metal alike. At sixteen inches in both height and width, the scale is intimate without being slight, calibrated for the layered, considered interior where a single object is asked to do the work of atmosphere.
