This chandelier was made for a CustomMade client for her private residence in the Bahamas. It consists of thirty-six pendants suspended from a 24 x 48 inch oak canopy. The top of shortest pendant is five feet below the canopy. The bottom of the longest pendant is 27 feet below the canopy. The length of each pendant is staggered 7.25 inches from the longest to the shortest. Each pendant measures 4 x 4 x 11 inches, is made from streaky white glass with verdigris copper trim, and holds a 5-watt A-19 LED bulb. All aspects of this chandelier are fully customizable. The photos show the finished chandelier installed in the Bahamas, in a stairwell with a 34-foot ceiling.
David L. Zvanut Fine Art
Fused glass work is my primary focus, but I also work in leaded stained glass, found object sculpture, large abstract watercolors, and acrylic painting. I use glass to make custom lighting fixtures and chandeliers. Most of my material is scrap recycled from local leaded glass businesses. Musical themes predominate, but I am open to other imagery. I am able to incorporate text and personal photographs into my custom work.
In addition to glass, I make custom or reproduction lead castings for use with leaded glass panels.
David was great to work with and we were very happy with the results.
David was great with our project. His attention to detail and and pictures along the way was great. We had a complicated measurement with a swelling for the light bulb and not just a flat piece of glass being bent. He was responsive with an adjustment of one of the 3 shades did not have the same shading. I would highly recommend him for future ventures. My only problem was with the Marketplace site that was not good for my sending pictures back to him. I would love to send a picture back of the finished lamp but it won't let me post. David rescued my tragic accident breaking my modern custom lamp . He is my hero.
David made 2 panels for us and he was such a pleasure to work with. He gave us plenty of choices and we felt since he is the artist, he would have a good eye for what looks right and he did. We needed specific sizes and sent 2 pics of what we wanted and adjusted the proportions and size to fit perfectly. Both panels came out perfect and we are very happy with them. Unfortunately, they were shipped by UPS (we have seen UPS delivery people throw packages in the past) and sure enough our 2 panels came with slightly broken glass but David took full responsibility, contacted a local craftsmen and had him pick them up for the repairs, sent him the particular glass he needed. No complaints about anything. We will deffinately use David again for our next project.Thank you David L. Zvanut. You are a true artist and have made us very happy. Ross and Fern Bloom
Working with David was an absolute pleasure. He took the time early on to really understand my vision, and made working with him so easy. His constant communication at every step of the way kept us completely involved and allowed us to take control of the project from a distance. He definitely went above and beyond personally driving our piece to Florida for delivery (from Texas!) and has left us with nothing but great things to say about him. I'm already trying to dream up new projects just so we can work with him again and have more than one David Zvanut original in our home!
Impeccable craftsmanship and exactly what I had asked/hoped for. Communication was continuous and David provided pictures of the project in the making. He asked me my opinion on key aspects of the project and the end results was stunning. If I ever have another project like this I would contact David without hesitation. Great work and thank you so much David.
