New Da Vinci Crystal Chandeliers
Schonbek's newest LED chandeliers, unveiled in January in Dallas, are the offspring of giant Da Vinci LEDs introduced in 2007.
While the original LED chandeliers measured 36 to 60 inches in diameter, the new LED chandeliers measure 10, 12 and 15 inches.
Larger sizes of Da Vinci have a halogen mode for white light as well as an LED mode, but the new, smaller chandeliers are powered purely by energy efficient LEDs. |

| Feature of the Month - Murano Glass Chandeliers
Murano (Venetian) glass is truly considered to be one of the most beautiful and pure creations in the world. It has a long history that sounds more like a detective story than a nice fiction. The secrets of glass making were thoroughly kept by Murano craftsmen and were passed from generation to generation since XV century. The glass makers were not allowed to leave Murano island, but had a lot of privileges as glass was as expensive as precious metals those times and the people who knew the trade secrets were treated as a treasure themselves. |
