This elegant fixture showcases a fluted stepped central stem that gracefully supports four curvilinear arms. Each arm terminates with a fluted bobeche, cradling a frosted art glass tulip cup. The meticulously machined design extends to the matching fluted canopy and is adorned at the tip with a finial featuring a cabochon of seeds.
