Schonbek, a heritage lighting brand dedicated to preserving over 150 years of American craftsmanship, has unveiled a rustic reimagination of the esteemed, contemporary Crystal Empire line with the introduction of Crystal Empire Rustic. Crystal Empire Rustic leads with a bold structure that is evident across the line’s three new pendants—six-light (CY1006N), eight-light (CY1008N) and 10-light (CY1010N). Through the application of thoughtful details, such as full-grain leather sourced from the Appalachian region and Bohemian Crystal accents, the fixtures convey the essence of the Rustic Collection’s characteristic pairing of timeless grace and raw beauty.
Each fixture offers an elegant open teardrop shape constructed of precision-cut, meticulously stitched leather. All three pendants are furnished with candleslips nestled on to metallic silver backplates drawn together through diligently crafted beams that connect to the fixtures’ center. An unexpected but brilliant compilation of materials, Bohemian Crystal accents bring sparkle to the base of each fixture’s lighting tube and a single large hand-cut crystal pendant is suspended in the center to create a stunning focal point. With no apparent hardware, the flat-back crystal creates a simple, yet elegant balance. The Crystal Empire Rustic fixtures are available in White Pass Leather (-LW1) with White (-06) internal metal arms and Grizzly Black Leather (-LB1) with Black (-BK1) internal metal arms and finished with Clear Heritage Crystal.
The Crystal Empire Rustic fixtures are available for purchase through over 600 brick and mortar retailers nationwide and through top e-commerce sites, including but not limited to, Houzz, LampsPlus, Lighting New York, 1800Lighting, Lumens, Bellacor, and CapitolLighting, delivering illumination across the globe.
