Well, here’s the chance to explore your inner Primetime Emmy designer by winning part of the central chandelier from D’Legne* (known for their unique lighting products) used at the 2008 Diamond Anniversary Governors Ball (the dinner which immediately follows the ceremony). Made to appear like a giant diamond bracelet—in keeping with the event’s diamond theme—the chandelier at the ball will actually be composed of seven inter-connected units, of which the winning bidder will receive one. Not open to international bidding. U.S. only (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Specifications: Material: 319 hand-polished crystals with chrome-plated steel frame Dimensions: 28” W x 18” H Manufacturer: D’Legne* Weight: 70 lbs     *Notes: D’Legne has ceased production and this may well be your last chance to obtain one of their beautiful, energy-efficient designs! As the chandelier cannot be released for delivery until after the Ball on September 21, delivery will take longer than the 3-4 weeks cited in the FAQ below. The unit will be sent at winning bidder's expense in its original D’Lenge shipping crate to ensure safe arrival. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will benefit the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation The mission of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation is to shape the future of television while preserving its past.
