Italian Chandeliers are In!!!!
Finally they are here! Designed by me and custom made exclusively for disegno Karina Gentinetta, these breathtaking chandeliers are handcrafted in Italy using the finest venetian glass crystals. Each of the hundreds of crystals are handknotted and each of the beautiful macaroni bead swags is individually tied onto the antique gold iron frames. It is at times like these that I so thank my grandmother Aida for not only teaching me about resilience, but also for teaching me Italian! It tooks months of working through emails and drawings and phone calls with my wonderful Italian artisan to arrive at these finished concepts. These are but a few of what's to come and the best part about it, is that they can be custom made to any specification. Hope you enjoy the photos!!!

They are all stunning Karina! I particularly love the second design...it is so full and decadent, almost like an explosion of sparkling ice crystals. I can't even begin to imagine how you articulated such elaborate designs...bravo!

Ah, a woman of my own heart. Just came across your blog and both posts settle near and dear to my heart. I did not realize I was a collector of mirrors until one day I thought, hmm..I really do have a few mirrors. I purchased my first petite chandelier a couple of years ago, and, of all places, have it hanging on the door of my 19th Cent. armoire. I live in a one bedroom apartment, so the other two chandeliers I have subsequently purchased have their respective places as well. Have enjoyed the visit ~ Alexandra
ReplyDeleteDear Karina, thank you so much for your incredibly generous words! My blog has indeed evolved...it's like a whole new wonderful world has opened up to me. I have been so inspired by beautiful blogs like yours. It's so nice to feel as though I have a vision for The French Mouse now!
ReplyDeletePlease feel in no hurry to pass the award along...it took me more than two months to properly accept mine! I certainly understand feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of daily life. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's job! I know from personal experience how stressful that situation can be. But I know you will be brilliant in stepping up to the challenge. You have a wonderful gift for design and bringing life to beautiful things!
xoxo
