The structure of this ancient beaded chandelier is embellished with particular details: the six uprights reveal traces of original leaf gilding on the iron rod, hand-made crystal floral creations in the shape of daisies and ornamental cabochons in transparent glass together with decorations in golden brass combine to make this early twentieth century chandelier a unique and refined furnishing accessory. A curiosity: the round disks located in the middle of the lower part are buttons.

Festoons of crystal chains, ground pendants in the shape of spheres, almonds and prisms enrich the workmanship of this chandelier without weighing it down, making it airy and harmonious.

A further unusual detail is represented by the two phytomorphic elements in golden iron, the bulb at the top of the structure which is also proposed as the final bud in the part below. The six curved double-volute arms end with six iron bobeches with a floral motif.

The chandelier has been electrified for a maximum power of 500 Watts.
