We are seriously excited. We were contacted last week by a designer to see if we would be willing to rent them a very large chandelier for a performance. They inquired about several of the chandeliers that we had on our 1stdibs website. They needed something white. The Murano ones required too much work to break down and to put back together. But one was just right.the very large globed chandelier attributed to Stilnovo.
Not knowing where this was going or who was preforming we took down the chandelier and packed up the globes ready for pick up. No sooner than we had gotten it down and packed up. The delivery man was there to pick it up. The label read The Washington Convention Center. This got our curiosity up. So we googled the event center to see if we could figure it out. Maybe an Inaugural Ball? It was exciting to think that maybe we had a little something to do with the inauguration. It was not until today that we learned what had occurred. The Chandelier was delivered to us safe and all together. Today the designer who had rented it called to make sure that everything was intact. She then proceeded to tell us where it had been and then sent us a photo of the piece in place during the preformance by Lady GaGa. Who would have thought that a chandelier hanging in a shop in the tiny town of Kilmarnock Virginia would have a piece that was an important prop in a preformance by Lady GaGa and Tony Bennett for the President of the United States on his second Inauguration. All I can say is WOW.
