The structure of this antique beaded chandelier is embellished with unique details: the six uprights reveal traces of original gilding on the iron rods, handcrafted crystal daisy-shaped floral creations, and ornamental clear glass cabochons, along with gilded brass decorations, combine to make this early 20th-century chandelier a unique and refined furnishing accessory. A curious fact: the round discs located midway along the lower part are buttons.

Festivals of crystal chains, ground sphere-shaped and almond-shaped pendants, and prisms enrich the workmanship of this chandelier without weighing it down, making it airy and harmonious.

Another unusual detail is represented by the two gilded iron plant-shaped elements, the bulb at the top of the structure, which also appears as the final bud below. The six curved double-volute arms terminate in six iron bobeches with a floral motif.

The chandelier has been electrified for a maximum power of 500 watts.
