Calyx
Starting at $8,500 USD
Our Calyx pendant was gleaned from its namesake botanical form, with a controlled yet gentle unfurling blossom of proprietary alloys and glass. The three nested nude shades are hand blown in New York, while the canopy is hand spun in a 150-year-old French workshop that employs historical techniques mastered over many centuries and generations. The two combine to create a graceful, fluted silhouette, with an attachment plate and scalloped collar forming a meticulously crafted connection.
Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer’s Roman and Williams Guild Original Designs are each branded with our insignia and delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Please note that lighting exceeding 36” in height is made with multi-piece stems, where slim seams may be visible.
*Select the drop range you'd like and we'll contact you to confirm the exact dimension. Additionally, if purchased on our site we will contact you after purchase with the correct shipping charges from France.
