The chandelier is composed of 34 glass elements, each shaped like a drop with a smooth, translucent surface and an opaline center, a typical effect of Murano glass production of the period. The elements are suspended and overlapped around the central structure, creating a beautiful interplay of diffused and reflected light.
The electrical system includes 10 light points, enhancing the luminous effect of the soft opaque glass and the transparent perimeter.
