Fabulous Chandeliers by Viz Art Glass

Many of the Viz Art Glass chandeliers are Chihuly inspired, but not Chihuly priced! And, Viz Glass has been adding new chandelier designs that are impressive! This blog features just two of their new chandeliers; The Sinfonia and Opus Chandeliers.  

The Multi Color Chandelier on the left uses the colors Aqua, Cobalt, Purple, Opaline, Lime Green, Orange, Red and Yellow. It is available in three sizes... Mini, Small and Large. The components are Brushed Nickel and the LED G9 bulbs are included. The large Multi Color Chandelier is 42" in Diameter and 38" High. You can select from many other colorations. Pricing for this chandelier is here.  

 

Nielsens offers free shipping on all Viz Glass chandeliers.

 Color combinations are endless for the Chihuly inspired chandeliers. We show 27 colorations on our website. Not all, but most are available in three sizes. You can also add Viz Glass "Long Horns" that are 28"~30" in length in a variety of colors which hang down from the bottom of the chandelier.

Viz Art Glass - Hot Trend in Decorating

Viz Art Glass is a product Nielsens Gifts discovered four years ago. Chihuly inspired, the Wall Art Plates & Chandeliers caught our immediate attention. 

Viz Glass Wall Art Plates:

Nielsens Gifts will help design the look for your Viz Wall Art installations. All we need to start on your design is a photo of area, measurements, and color preferences. We will then prepare a visual of the design for you to look over. We will work with you to make any changes in color, number of Viz Glass Wall Art Plates, placement, etc. Some of our customers have installed one wall art plate in a bathroom as a room accent; 6 over a sofa; or 22 Viz Wall Art Glass plates in their condo in the Bahamas. We just shipped 6 to go over the fireplace in a new home near Boston. Viz Art Glass plates come in a variety of sizes and shapes. You can see all of them on our website under the Viz Art Glass section. 

That simple splash of color created by Vis Glass art provides the accent that defines an environment. Life is too short for grey!

Once on the Viz Glass section of our website, click on any of the categories (such as Blooming Lotus Plates) to see  
the color selections and prices. George just added the newest River Stone Wall Art Collection to the website. On the right is an installation using River Stone. Click on any image in this blog for full size photos.

 

The three plate River Stone design on the left is only $528, and consists of two 9" and one 6" diameter plate. All plates come with the cylinder Wall Mount and instructions. We have been told the mounting hardware Viz Glass uses for their Wall Art Plates is the best in the industry.

Kinzig Design Lamps - Some of the most beautiful lamps you have ever seen!

Kinzig Design Lamps are made in America by Susan Kinzig and Susan's sister-in-law, Caryn Kinzig. Susan lives on the West Coast and crafts the bottom part of the lamps incorporating beautiful blown glass from two boutique studios in San Francisco. The lamps are individually crafted with metals and surface textures that will not fade or discolor. Susan also makes the distinctive finials and pulls.

Caryn Kinzig lives on the East Coast (actually Pennsylvania) and makes the shades which are sewn from embroidered silks and rich fabrics. These shades are truly top-of-the-line WOW!

All of the Kinzig Design Home table lamps have female names like Maggie (one of our favorites), Pearl (one of newest), Roxy,  Lucia,  Natalia, etc. The Kinzig Design floor lamps have male names like Harry (one of newest), James, Freddy, Max, etc. Currently there are 66 table lamps and 23 floor lamps... all on our NielsensGifts.com website with great images. Direct link to the Kinzig Design lamps.   

The compliments we receive from our customers who have purchased Kinzig lamps tells the story. "We love our Maggie lamp!". "I am going to have to purchase another Kinzig as getting way too many compliments on Roxy!". "Most beautiful lamp we have ever owned."

When Arthur and Dorothy Nielsen started Nielsens Exclusive Gifts 67 years ago, they added hand- crafted lamps to their offerings in the early stage of the business. That is what attracted their daughter, Andrea Nielsen Bartlett, to the beautiful Kinzig Design lamps that Susan and Caryn Kinzig are crafting.

Blog written by George... a huge fan of Susan and Caryn Kinzig's lamps!

Lily Pulitzer is now at Nielsens!

 

“Lily was a rule breaker, we love that!” Janie Schoenborn, senior design director for print and pattern, brand presentation and accessories and footwear, for Lilly Pulitzer.

 Lilly Pulitzer is an iconic American brand, with 50 years of heritage and a very multigenerational customer base. At Lily they say “lead a colorful life.”

Lily Pulitzer was a brand that started in 1959. Lily eloped with Peter Pulitzer, who was the grandson of the publisher Joseph Pulitzer.  They moved to Palm Beach, Fl where Lily opened up a juice stand, and to hide the stains on her dress she created very colorful designs. First Lady Jackie Kennedy was photographed wearing a Lily Pulitzer dress and after that her clothing line took off.

Along with women's clothing, the company also produces men's clothing, children's clothing, maternity clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories, bedding, and stationary.  

Lily Pulitzer is a new product here at Nielsens Gifts. Our Brookside location has many of the Lily Pulitzer accessories. Including the portable Apple charger! It is great for on the go! It can be a HUGE life saver and not to mention its Lily Pulitzer so it is always fashionable. You can also get the matching Iphone Case!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can also choose from Lanyards, IPad Covers, Portable Speakers, and trays. Come into the Brookside location of Nielsens Gifts. 3515 S. Peoria to shop our new Lily Pulizter Product!
