The design draws upon the geography and history of the oil fields: its hand-hammered aluminum frame recalls early oil-burning lamps, while the warm, opalescent coloring of its glass shades evokes petroleum. McFadden commissioned Venini to produce the tapered, wheel-carved glass elements, pairing Italian glassmaking with a sculptural American-made frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSA, 1963\u003cbr\u003eHand-hammered aluminum, Venini wheel-carved glass\u003cbr\u003e32\" H, 64\" Dia.\u003cbr\u003e(81 cm H, 163 cm Dia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePetroleum Club of Houston; Private Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Maker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eGeorge Pierce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eWilliam Parker McFadden\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e collaborated on a series of bespoke interior elements for the Petroleum Club of Houston during the early 1960s, a project emblematic of mid-century American corporate modernism.
