The vintage ceiling light has 14 glass funnels, the surface of which shimmers with a silky softness and feels velvety smooth to the touch. We suspect it is opal glass, but we are not certain.
The design is in the style of Arlus, Stilnovo & Hans-Agne Jakobsson. This chandelier has 14 elegantly gilded, curved brass arms, which give this chandelier its exclusivity and uniqueness.

Dimensions of the glass bulbs:
Height 30 cm Width (widest point) 8.5 cm

The chandelier is in beautiful, more than well-maintained and fully functional vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of wear and tear, such as minor, superficial scratches on the brass and glass. All glass bulbs are intact and show no visible damage.
However, all these signs are only slightly more visible on closer inspection and are not serious.
