This chandelier, designed for the Dana-Thomas
House in Springfield, IL, is the most elaborate of
all of the lamps that Frank Lloyd Wright designed.
It was one of six built by the Linden Glass Co. of
Chicago. Five of these lamps are in the Dana-
Thomas House and one is displayed in the Richard
Bock Collection at Greenville College in
Greenville, Illinois. The complexity of this lamp
is illustrated by the $31,500 price tag for a full
scale reproduction.
This pattern and instruction package has been
several years in the making. After developing the
patterns I realized that this lamp in its original
size would be too large for many houses. This led
to experimenting with scaled down models until I
decided on a linear reduction of 10% which
resulted in a volume reduction of 25%. Both the
full size and the reduced size are included in the
pattern package. Both lamps are identical except
for size.
The key to building this lamp is an instruction
manual that includes 14 photos, 16 graphic
illustrations, and over 6,000 words of text with
step by step instructions.
The full size lamp measures 23 1/4" across and 22
3/8" high, while the reduced lamp measures 21"
across by 20 1/8" high.
