This stunning 1970s hanging chandelier or plant holder is intricately crafted from natural cowrie shells and other small shell varieties, creating a striking boho aesthetic. The piece measures 31” long, making it perfect for a statement in any space. Its cascading design and detailed shell beading evoke a coastal, tropical vibe, while also fitting into a variety of styles, such as bohemian or eclectic decor.
Though originally designed as a plant holder, this piece can easily be converted into a chandelier by adding a simple light kit assembly, offering versatility for both indoor and outdoor spaces. The delicate craftsmanship and vintage appeal make it a perfect addition to enhance the character of any room.
Shell chandeliers like this one, especially those from the 1970s, were typically handcrafted in the Philippines. The Philippines is well-known for its skilled artisans who work with natural materials, particularly shells, due to the country’s abundant coastal resources. Many shell-based home decor items, including chandeliers, were produced there during the mid-20th century and exported globally, contributing to the popularity of these pieces in Western markets! This craftsmanship reflects the region’s rich tradition of working with organic materials to create beautiful yet functional art. less
