The Flambeau Chandelier represents a more refined Murano Glass version of the designer’s signature torch
motif. Nowhere do we find André Arbus more open about his commitment to the old ways as a route to new
designs worthy of the French tradition. Four fluted mouth-blown cones are infused with 24-carat gold, gradually
migrating toward a narrow point seemingly lit from a brass tip. The geometry, varying colors and flicker of the
fluted cones contrast with the center orb. Art Moderne. Circa 1940s.
The Flambeau Sconce draws on the same classical motif. In some ways, the scale of the two-armed sconce is
bolder. The cones assume more visual mass relative to the half-dome back plate. At the same time, the proximity
of sconce to wall allows for the halo of an up-light.
