this pendant light is a masterpiece of edwardian lighting design. The solid, polished brass exhibits exceptional detailing with artfully crafted components that exude classic elegance.

opaling glass dome:
the satin-finished opal glass dome in a cream/ivory tone diffuses the light softly and warmly. Opal glass was highly prized in this era for its luxurious appearance and pleasant light quality. The glass is finely textured with subtle variations in transparency.

a truly distinctive feature of this light is the three elegant gold tassels that hang from the brass suspension. These ornamental details were typical of wealthy victorian households and showcase the era's exquisite craftsmanship.
