The Met Opera Shop has put up for sale the Met Opera house’s original 1966 wall sconces. Hand-cut clusters of Swarovski crystals make up these gorgeous antiques that had been a gift to the Met from the Austrian government.
Also for sale are one-of-a-kind chandeliers (hand-cut Swarovski crystals) inspired by the Met Opera’s original “Sputnik” chandelier which was designed by Hans Harald Rath of J. & L. Lobmeyr of Vienna. The Sputnik is among the best-loved and most recognizable features of the opera house.
