I always love designing metalwork and lighting, but the gryphon chandelier in the background is a bit different and extra cool; which, of course, is my thing!
I designed this chandelier for one of Candace Atkins' clients. Candace is a realtor in Dallas, Texas, with a passion for helping her cients achieve the advantages of homeownership; this includes such perks as helping decorate their new homes.
It is a reverse tier fixture. Why you ask? Well, first, reverse tier chandeliers are really neat and different, but most importantly they serve a very serious role... like in the home of this particular client, who wanted a rather long fixture to drop inside an oval stair case.
A traditional three tier chandelier would have been too heavy on the bottom, but with the tiers reversed, we end up with the two gryphons, situated inside the longer side of the oval, to be enjoyed on the perimeter of the middle ring of the second story's balcony railing, and the smaller tier below, so that the first floor gets a beautiful, yet not overwhelming view as well.
