I recently had the opportunity to check out American Brass and Crystal’s new showroom and tour their factory. I really love seeing how things are made since its helps me to understand their value, so any chance I get to tour a factor I’m there.
I didn’t have to travel far to check out this special manufacture of fine Crystal chandeliers since they are located nearby in Union, NJ. American Brass and Crystal had a Designer Event sponsored by Aspire Metro to show off their specular new showroom. The new showroom is able to show their many beautiful collections which are very impressive when you see all the design and size options all in one place.
On the tour of the factory my inner design child came out and wanted to play to all the beautiful brass pieces and the sparkly crystals that make up their chandeliers. I resisted the urge to start building my own chandelier as we went through the factory where each one is made by hand.
It becomes easy to understand the higher price tag of one of these American Brass and Crystal chandeliers when you see and understand the high quality materials and the attention to detail the goes into making them. There are so few American made chandeliers manufactures, and very few manufactures that actually use brass for the materials.
I was impressed with the tour, and the products, but I was most impressed with the pride that this family own business has. The love that the owners have for what they do is apparent when they speak. These are not just chandeliers they are works of art.
