This chandelier was made in the "best" time of modern viennese lamp production. There are 3 light levels at the top: 3x e14, at the level of the rings 10x e14 and 1x e27 shining downwards.

The hanging consists of crystal prisms (77mmx18mm) the largest ring is decorated with faceted glass balls at the top (18-20mm diameter).
