Jonathan Browning’s pure bronze fixtures are informed by early 20th-century French industrial and decorative design, and are cast to exacting standards at the same foundry that produces period metalwork for the New York Public Library. Browning embellishes faceted, hammered and fluted surfaces; shades are hand-turned on a lathe from bronze stock, chain links are hand-cut and polished, and all sconces and chandeliers are triple-plated in nickel or silver. The Garonne chandelier pictured balances six hooded candles in hammered cones on a silvered strap. (via Elements of Living)
