Every corner of this store is beautifully lit. The first grouping on the left beckons with modern creations of shiny wire and frosted glass. Lamps from Italy, meanwhile, are works of postmodern sculpture. The true strength and depth of the store can be seen by glancing at the ceiling, where chandeliers tempt the eye. Beaded crystal flower or candle chandeliers range from $200 to $1,000; a sparkling Strass crystal creation is $1,500. On one visit, a crystal chandelier with a sheer organza shade was $1,200.
