24″ Reverse Painted Chandelier by artist Jenny Floravita—is installation ready.

Sandhill Crane Evening Migration is the second of two commissioned reverse painted chandeliers that will hang over a 16′ family dining table in Nebraska. The first chandelier featured a daytime marsh scene with the sandhill cranes. This piece was to feature more of an evening scene. I wanted to show the sandhill cranes migrating in mass. I’ve painted more of the Nebraska marsh landscape with sunset colors reflecting in the water and sky. Reeds, grasses and wildflowers bring the marsh landscape to the foreground. A sandhill crane takes off in flight from the marsh after a day’s hunt. A small bird perches on a reed to watch the events of the evening as a small flock of sandhill cranes gracefully fly over the marsh in silhouette. These two reverse painted chandeliers will go over a 16′ dining table that will be the gathering place for the entire family on Sunday.

All of my reverse painted glass chandeliers are hand crafted and hand painted by me, Jenny Floravita. All of my chandeliers are originals. These two commissioned painted chandeliers were carefully thought out and painted. None of my chandeliers are painted by studio artists. I mention this is because most glass art studios involve many people in the art form especially in glass blowing studios or studios that create stained glass lamps. The reverse painted lamps from the earlier part of the last century were done in studios that involved many artists…but my painted glass chandeliers are all created here by me—my studio is very boutique. Each piece has a lot of time and skill. I’ve been a professional artist for over two decades and fine art is my college degree.

Commissions can take a bit of time for me to complete as a tremendous amount of work and thought goes into all of my reverse painted chandeliers and I am always busy. It’s never possible to duplicate my original chandelier concepts but I do work hard to capture sections that inspire my collectors. I wanted to share this painted chandelier with you because it turned out so stunningly.

The hand forged fixture style that you see here is my Contemporary Swirl style.

My reverse painted chandeliers are exquisite works of art and are heirloom quality and will hang in fine homes for generations to come.
