The unique structure of this antique glass chandelier is supported by three chains that connect it, at the top, to additional crowns in embossed and gilded metal. Six curved arms branch out from the central golden crown, terminating in gilded wooden bougainvillea.

It ends with a teardrop-shaped finial in clear blown glass.

The chandelier is from Lucca and dates back to the late 1800s; it was originally designed for candlelight. Originally from a private residence, it has been fitted with six E14 bulbs, with an additional internal light illuminating the turquoise bowl. It is now in perfect condition, ready to hang.
