About the Lighting Collection
The collection showcases Tony Duquette's most iconic motifs transformed into luxury statement decorative lights. California Sunburst fixtures feature solid brass rays, Dandelion designs capture exploding fireworks with spherical forms, Plume pieces gather brass feathers in elegant rope-cinched clusters, Splashing Water chandeliers suspend delicate teardrops in fountain-like arcs, and Fanlight wall sconces showcase precisely pleated solid brass based on French Art Deco originals. Each statement lighting piece reflects Duquette's ability to transform natural inspiration into extraordinary decorative art.
About Tony Duquette
Tony Duquette was an extremely influential Hollywood artist and designer whose work spanned the 1940s through the 1990s. Working alongside his wife Elizabeth and artistic partner Hutton Wilkinson, he crafted elaborate, fantastical sets for stage and film as well as interiors, jewelry, furniture and costume designs. His clientele evolved from Hollywood and New York's elite to a truly international following spanning South America, Hawaii, Venice, and Asia. Duquette's work was renowned for its bold, arresting, and colorful designs—he designed jewels for the Duchess of Windsor and became the first American ever to have a solo exhibit at the Louvre.
His protégé Hutton Wilkinson has written three books devoted to Duquette’s creative genius, which introduced his body of work to a wide audience. You can see early iterations of this lighting collection photographed in “Tony Duquette” and “More is More.”
