This unique Art Deco bell shaped chandelier produced in the 1940s, possesses that vision in its beautiful crystal-clear ripples and playful, organic shape. Beautifully inlaid bronze accents similarly feel earthy, each accent distinct, as though it was plucked straight from a metallic deposit in the earth. To place this chandelier in your home, in a corridor, above a dining table, or right in your primary entryway, would be to bring the enlightened, centuries old appreciation for hand blown glass craftsmanship into your contemporary day to day world. The chandelier has been fully cleaned, newly electrified, and is found in an amazing condition. less
