Marlow Three Light Pendant (1103-PN)

Three Light Pendant by Hudson Valley from the Marlow collection in Polished Nickel finish

In Corning, NY, the Brilliant Cut Glass phenomenon flourished from the late 19th century to the '20s. Marlow's shades of hand-cut, latticed glass tip a hat to this authentic American art-form. At the same time it alludes to history, Marlow's fabric-wrapped cords and minimalist socket holders manage to make it feel contemporary. As pendant, alone or in staggered clusters, it's worthy of lingering admiration, as a wall sconce, it hangs with a half-vaulted suspension, calling to mind the architecture of a bridge.
