Light Fantastic

We're Bond & Bowery, a website with the most diverse selection of antiques, design, and fine art in cyberspace. We highlight quality pieces without the clutter of competing ads and excessive editorial content. B & B understands the importance of a valuable acquisition and its contribution to home decoration.

Your B & B Host: I'm George Evans, and I've spent the last 20 years importing and exporting antiques and fine design pieces from Europe. I'm a New York City dealer and I have two showrooms in Lambertville, New Jersey.

This week we're bringing you a 1950s Iron Chandelier, offered by Blue Hill Antiques, located at 8 Water Street in lovely Blue Hill, Maine.  This quirky and fun mid-century modern, 6-armed, 40-pound beauty is 33 inches in diameter and 24 inches high.

The chandelier is amazingly detailed, composed of welded iron rods that have been painted with a thick coat of off-white paint -- very much the forerunner of painted chandeliers that are all the rage in today's contemporary decorating schemes.  Look at how stylish a rubber-dipped chandelier looks with the clean walls and graphics in this +81 Magazine art exhibit.

We think our painted chandelier will look beautiful in your home, too.

For a more in-depth discussion about fantastic modernist chandeliers, see my By George! interview with Design2Share. And visit Bond & Bowery for the item detail page and direct dealer contact information on this incredible light fixture.

This week we're bringing you a chic Pair of Jansen Glass Top Chromed Steel Tables, offered by Pierre Tremblay, located at 135 Greenwood Avenue in Collegeville, Pennsylvania.  Each table is 27 inches in diameter and 27 inches in height, a perfect balance and scale.

Maison Jansen ("House of Jansen") was founded in Paris in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen, and it became the first truly global interior design firm by the 1890s, with commissions on many continents. The firm had a fantastic run, closing its doors in 1989, and they produced fine furniture, lighting, and accessories with a team of skilled craftspeople. These French-made 1960 tables are beautifully made and would compliment any interior, like the pair of glass top occasional tables used in this stunning living room designed by tastemaker Bunny Williams.

We think our Jansen tables will look beautiful in your home, too!
