Lamp of the Week: 26" Turtleback Chandelier

 

 

The 26" Turtleback shade is an impressive chandelier fixture. This massive shade perfectly conveys the impression of a large tortoise shell, inspiring the moniker for both the shade and the pressed glass tiles used to create it. Composed entirely of large turtleback tiles, the spaces between the tiles are filled in with hand cut turtleback pieces. This impressive chandelier fixture is as heavy as it looks, weighing in at just under 50lbs. Created as a showroom example in the early 2000's this fixture is now in the collection of a client in North Carolina.
