(A) This gorgeous bowl is about 20 inches in diameter, positively the largest and prettiest I've had the privilege of looting from the French. It's been polished and waxed, but in this photo I haven't wired it (don't mind the white cord dangling into the bowl!) or restored the INCREDIBLE metal (it has its original nickel finish over brass or bronze). It hangs at 35 inches as shown. $4900.

(B) This bowl hangs by four antique chains, which is a variation and provides for some increased visual interest. It hangs at about 25 inches and is about 13 inches across. Soft, muted amber colors. $2300. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(C) A nicely variegated amber bowl about 14 wide, with new silk cord and cast bronze canopy and antique rosettes. It hangs at 21 long.

See, I called it "variegated" and it went away! SOLD!!

 

(D) Another recent arrival from France, and a real looker! This one hangs at 31 inches, with all the chain shown, and it's bout 17 inches across, including the hardware. That "hardware" is all bronze, with a gilt finish, and impressive! There is a crab-like creature in the center of each "rosette" and the canopy is unusually significant. $2900.

(E) Magnificent coloring, veining, and who needs to throw around superlatives regarding the gilt bronze metalwork? It's about 16 inches across, a jewel for the home. $3100. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(F) It's rare that I find a carved alabaster bowl, and this one has a subtlely carved edge to harmonize with the quiet colors and patterns in the stone. It's about 16 inches across, and hangs quite long, at about 35 inches, with its original cordelier (which I could replace). $2100. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(G) This flared alabaster bowl (about 13 inches across) with its original cordelier has vivid markings. My, my, where does he get these amazing things?! $1900. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
