The Story
The Silver Magma, bronze chandelier is a contemporary edition sculpted collaboratively by the artists. The original model, sculpted in wax, reflected mineral and plant formations. Once transformed into bronze and polished, it evokes the appearance of molten natural materials reminiscent of volcanic activity and the eruptions that form igneous rocks. The unique art-glass shades represent geysers of water, each one distinct in design. The lost wax casting is expertly executed in the Cox Bronze Foundry in London. Due to the rarity of silver-plated objects of this scale, a specialized approach was developed.
