Introducing the “Sahure Chandelier” by Eichholtz, a work of art inspired by a grand Egyptian column (ca. 2458–2446 B.C.) evocative of a date palm.

Now in The Met collection, this monumental column was one of 16 that surrounded an open courtyard in the pyramid temple of the pharaoh Sahure. Emulating the lines that articulate the granite column’s palm-like form, the chandelier’s smoked-glass elements exude an air of timeless elegance. This exquisite piece unites the spirit of ancient craftsmanship with modern luxury, adding an artful touch to any space.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

 

The Chandelier Sahure is inspired by the ancient Egyptian Palm Column of Sahure (ca. 2458–2446 B.C,.), which stood at over 21 feet high in its original state. The granite column that now stands in the Egyptian art galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of 16 that lined the perimeter of an open courtyard in the pyramid temple for the pharaoh Sahure. Our chandelier takes it design cues from the date-palm leaves portrayed at the top of the Museum’s column. The tiered elements of the chandelier are presented in smoked glass with a brushed-brass finish for a sophisticated look.

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.
