Wow! Extraordinary chandelier!

Yes it is an extraordinary chandelier. It is made out of 52,000 golden Swarovski crystals hanging off a palm branch cast in bronze. Designed by Belinda Smith, Matthew and Daniel Tobin in 1993.
Inspiration came from weeping seed pods of palm trees in the Botanic Garden in which the house the chandelier hangs resides. The carpet under the chandelier is the tree of life so it follows that theme as well. Belinda Smith said ” “I tend to make observations of my surroundings and draw elements from it that inform my artwork. The inflorescence of the Bangalow palm is a beautiful cascade of seeds that I immediately associated with a form that could translate into a chandelier. I think creating a unique chandelier that breaks with convention is also a great reference to the lifestyle here in Queensland.”
