an imposing design whose forms and details are inspired by the plant world. Curved brass arms are arranged radially around a central core. Each arm forms a loop, the ends of which point upwards as well as downwards. At the end of each brass arm there is an e14 socket, which is surrounded by a kind of basket. The basket is divided into fine white rods. On every second rod there is a faceted glass ball which refracts the light and creates an additional brilliance. The chandelier hangs from a brass shaft. A special detail is the trumpet-shaped canopy that closes the shaft to the ceiling.
the chandelier is in very good condition with signs of use and patina. The brass surface has been polished to a high gloss by an artisan and the cables have been renewed. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
