It retains its original three-arm candelabrum form, now electrified, with candle-style sleeves.
The lamp is topped with a classic dark green tole shade, hand-decorated with gilded laurel-leaf bands and insect motifs. The shade is height-adjustable using the traditional brass mechanism at the top, complete with a finial in the form of an eagle.
The circular base is exquisitely decorated with intricate engine-turned and floral patterns, showcasing the high craftsmanship. See less
