An imposing design whose shapes and details are inspired by the plant world. Curved brass arms are arranged radially around a trumpet-shaped shaft. Between those arms go off leaf-shaped brass elements. At the end of each brass arm is an E14 socket, which is enclosed in a kind of basket. The basket is broken up into fine white rods. On every other rod there is a faceted glass ball that refracts the light and creates an additional brilliance. The mounting base is made of wood and finished in a dark white shade. The stem fits perfectly into the base, allowing the white edge of the base to protrude and color contrast the fixture to the ceiling.
The chandelier is in very good condition with hardly any signs of use. The brass surface was polished to a high gloss by an artisan and the cables were renewed.
