La Bella Luce

My name is Aly, and I am the founder and owner of La Bella Luce European Antiques in New York City. I've been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to live in Europe for twelve of the last twenty-four years, which has been a wonderful experience. I fell in love with the laid-back way of life, delectable cuisine, and classic European design that was prevalent. My family and I were fortunate enough to have stayed in Piazzola Sul Brenta, which is the home of Villa Contarini, during our first tour of the country. The town hosts the largest outdoor antique market in northern Italy on the last Sunday of every month on the last Sunday of the month. In addition to shopping and cultivating friendships with Italian vendors that have endured the test of time and distance, I spent many hours at the market as well. Visiting Italy on an annual basis allowed me to carefully select unique pieces for our home as well as to share with my loyal La Bella Luce customers. Antiquated chandeliers are my true passion; they literally light up my life... and every single room in my house. (I am not exaggerating when I say that I once had a couple of them dangling from the ceiling of my garage.) We closed our respective shops and combined our curated collections of chandeliers, furniture, and accessories to make them available for rent to you after nearly fifteen years in the retail business and three antique shops later. My dear friend Rosanna from Bella Villa Antiques & Vintage Rentals and I are thrilled to be able to provide you with these rental options. Our inventory is a constantly changing and growing collection of elegant antiques, rustic farm elements, and reimagined design that is constantly evolving.
