The Met x Eichholtz presents the Chandelier Imperial S, echoing the splendor of a fluted Ionic column (ca. 300 BCE) from the Greek Temple of Artemis at Sardis.

Our elegant piece, with its brushed-brass finish and smoke glass, endeavors to capture the essence of ancient Greek architecture. Infuse your space with historical allure and modern sophistication.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Chandelier Imperial is inspired by a marble column (ca. 300 BCE) from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis, a highlight of The Met’s Greek and Roman Art collection. The massive section of a fluted Ionic column, which stood at over 58 feet tall in its original location, showcases delicate foliate carvings on the capital—a unique feature among the surviving columns from the temple. This chandelier boasts elegant ridged elements in homage to the column’s detailing, and is crafted with smoke glass and a brushed-brass finish.

Care instructions

How to care for wood veneer

Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.

To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:

Cleaning and maintenance

Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.

Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
