Its defining feature is the sculptural interplay of elements: a central body and extended arms in highly polished, reflective brass intersect with numerous vertical plates in clear glass or crystal, which appear to be beveled to capture and diffuse the light. The rhythmic arrangement of these discs around the bulbs, which appear like luminous gems, creates a dynamic and glamorous effect, making it a visually striking piece of furniture.
The balance between the geometric metal and the brilliance of the glass lends the piece a sophisticated, vintage elegance.
It can accommodate up to nine E14 bulbs.

Excellent condition.
