A birdcage design with an encased flower bouquet - the center column is a crystal beaded amphora jar shape that holds delicate metal stems that sprout sculptural flowers made of layers of crystals, metal backed crystal leaves, and dangling smoke crystals. Made in France in the early 1930's, with the highest quality European clear lead crystals and rock crystals; in smooth flat-backed, and faceted almonds, beads, cut prisms, leaves, and flower shapes. It has 15-arm candlelights, and 5 up-lights on inner structure. The five uplights point towards the inner bouquet and are encased in metal, leaf shaped shades. A large, rock crystal ball finial hangs from the center of an Vintage mirror disk at the bottom of the body. The top is crowned with a beaded crystal sleeve and decorative metal canopy. 49" height x 36" diameter. Canopy 4.5" length. See less
