Great Finds 1stdibs: Chandelier Crazy!!

When 1stdibs released this week’s new offerings, I was immediately captivated with all the beautiful chandeliers. Most of the vintage lighting we post about here and our Murano Lamp items for sale are table lamps….but how can you not love these great ceiling mounts. For some reason I’m having trouble including a link to the “chandelier” search page at 1stdibs, so just click HERE and type chandelier in the search box to see all of their great listings. Photos below are some of the ones that jumped out from the page at me. By the way, they are now promoting registration with pop-up prompts. Registration is quick and easy and you’ll get weekly email updates as well as be able to view prices with all listings posting them.

Murano Lamps : New Items to SwankLighting Inventory

We currently have over 100 pairs of Vintage Murano Lamps in our SwankLighting online inventory. Over the next few weeks we will be busy adding more as we get them refurbished with new UL Certified hardware. Pictured above are 3 additions you should check out now. My favorite is the art deco pair of white opaline murano lamps on nickel plated bases. Many of our customers have shared that they especially love the multi colored stacked font lamps on lucite bases. If you have not done so, please visit our web site to see all of our offerings.

Big News: But I can't spill the beans just yet...

Swank spent the last two days in Dallas for a photo shoot. Our Murano Lamps are being featured in a major design publication early next year. But I’ve been sworn to secrecy….. Stay Tuned!
