The Troy Chandelier, a fusion of French Empire and Deco Moderne comprised of a stunning polished nickel center band with a Deco inspired raise ring motif and strands of over 3000 Ping Pong balls. Unusual? Yes. And absolutely stunning. The impressive 9 foot, 10 inch tall by 4 foot, 6 inch wide chandelier is a modern day classic.       This One of a Kind, oversized Troy Chandelier was the centerpiece of the Circular Ligne Roset Lounge at The Architectural Digest Home Design Show and is available for purchase or display with the proceeds to be donated to DirectEffect for HIV/AIDS Research at The Rockefeller University.      A smaller, 4-foot version of The Troy Crystal Chandelier as well as The Troy Ping Pong Ball Chandelier will also debut as part of  Zia-Priven's 2006 Introduction of the high style Couture Line. A New Collection of modern chandeliers, sconces and accent lighting.

The 150 strands are made almost entirely out of top grade, pure white ping pong balls that radiate the light beautifully appearing to be oversized pearls when lit. Hundreds of hours of labor were needed to hand drill and hand string over 3000 Ping Pong balls to create this elaborate piece.

The Center Band, originally created in 3 sections due to its size, has been hand polished to a mirrored shine, and plated in a high polished nickel finish.  The rings, each individually installed and bent by hand to mold to the curvature of the band, measure 4 ½” and 2 ½” in diameter, 24 of each size, 48 rings total.
