Sahure chandelier

The Sahure Chandelier from Eichholtz is a work of art inspired by a magnificent Egyptian column (c. 2458–2446 BC) reminiscent of a date palm. Like the lines that form the granite column whose palm-leaf-like expression it recreates, the chandelier’s smoked glass elements exude a timeless elegance. With its brushed brass finish, it captures the eye and conveys a sense of both ancient craftsmanship and modern luxury. This exquisite piece adds a touch of splendor to any setting.

Historical background

The Sahure Chandelier is inspired by the ancient Egyptian palm column from the time of Pharaoh Sahure (c. 2458–2446 BC), which in its original state stood over 6.5 meters tall. The granite column that today stands in the Egyptian galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of 16 that lined the open courtyard of Sahure's pyramid temple. The chandelier's design draws its form from the date palm leaves depicted at the top of the museum's column. The layered elements are crafted from smoked glass with a brushed brass finish for a sophisticated expression.
