Braided Hemp Rope Chandelier with Four Lights. Audoux-Minet. Work.

Four arms made of thick twisted hemp rope gracefully curve outwards from a tightly bound central body of rope, extending upwards into an elegant knotted loop that serves as a suspension ring. Each arm ends with a tight wrapping that holds a faux candle covered in ivory with drips; the golden suspension chain completes the ensemble. This chandelier is a characteristic creation of Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet, whose workshop in Golfe-Juan elevated marine rope to the status of furniture material in the 1950s; their knotted hemp light fixtures, both rustic and sophisticated, have become classics of Riviera taste. Condition report: Good overall condition. Healthy and well-tensioned rope with a homogeneous blonde patina, original faux candles with decorative drips. Electricity checked by an electrician. A warm chandelier for a kitchen, a veranda, or a vacation home.
