A look into the past and one of our largest installations to date.

Over four generations, we are lucky to be trusted with some truly amazing projects like this. An image taken from a church in Louisiana where our team installed this unbelievably magnificent empire chandelier.

The chandelier towers above the crew as they delicately work to ensure the details are perfect.

We are lucky and thankful to be a part of New Orleans’ history, to share history through our antique collection, and to help create history through projects like these.

This beautiful and rustic Lantern finds incredible use of an antique Melon Globe. The glass itself is known in French as ‘cloche’ and translates directly to ‘bell’ in English.

It was hand blown in the 1800s and made originally to cover small plants, fruits, or vegetables during a freeze to create a miniature green house.

The glass is quite thick to withstand the weather and elements and combines with the three lights, stem, and decorative chain to produce a fantastic lighting fixture.

It has a beautiful bronze finial at the base and is poised to bring a unique French charm to any room or interior design.
