this model features:
• 15 internal light points, arranged to enhance the luminous crown.
• a brass crown-shaped frame, richly decorated with a dense pattern of créoles covering both the edge and the lower part.
• the créoles, the true protagonists of the palwa design, create a brilliant lighting effect, diffusing the light with multiple refractions and making the chandelier extremely dramatic.
• a brass chain and matching ceiling rose, typical of palwa production of the period.
