The crystal leaves delicately set into the gilded metal, two spikes of crystal beads sprout from the center where crowns a beautiful central flower with cut crystal petals. To either side sprout two golden metal stems perfectly accompanied by the original equally golden textile wiring that runs along its elegant shape to illuminate the room with two faux-candle holders, with metal leaf detailing on the holder and cut crystal cover at the base. All handwork that highlights the exquisite 19th century French taste for luxury items and that fortunately can accompany our home to this day.
