KARACHI: The management of the Karachi Marriott Hotel is delighted to announce the finalisation of the embellishment of their Crystal Ballroom. Living up to its reputation of being the finest and bejewelled events venue in town, the Crystal Ballroom has been further ornamented with 28 handmade crystal chandeliers.

These 28 specially designed crystal chandeliers are entirely handmade and crafted from an over 75 years’ experience manufacturer which has had the privilege of decorating palaces, museums, religious buildings, and prestigious leading Palace hotels worldwide.

The handmade chandeliers are unique as the hand cutting of each and every section of the crystals are done with diamond wheels by skill full artists, having an experience of decades and the final touch of polish also completed by hand without using any automation to keep the real spirit of the craft and the artistry.

A glance down the uniquely designed scintillating high ceiling of the Crystal Ballroom, the walls have the most enchanting paintings of Eqbal Mehdi and Mohsin Kiyani that are casting a majestic spell under the sparkle of the new chandeliers.

The name of Eqbal Mehdi needs no introduction. Recipient of the Pride of Performance award Mehdi had numerous solo exhibitions at home and in Delhi, Tokyo, Washington, Paris, Riyadh and Hong Kong to his credit and his work features in the collections of prominent collectors in the country.
