This rarely seen substantial form is highly remminescent of the Atomic Modern period with its satellite-like bowtie shape shade with eminating gold radiating line pattern. The sculptural body is comprised of one large, thick slag molded glass form which is suspended almost invisibly by small Brass vise-like brackets at its pinched waist. Original early green Lightolier label still fully intact on back of mounting bracket (see last pic). Due to the very delicate nature of the molded glass design this style rarely survived the test of time and trends, added the incredible sublime condition of this specimen and your likely to never see one like this again!
