faceted crystal droppers:

the crystal drops are faceted in the classic "swedish drop" shape—one of the most popular shapes for vintage chandeliers. These faceted crystals beautifully refract the light, creating a spectacular play of light. The quality of the crystals is exceptional, with perfect facets and crystal-clear transparency. The characteristic grayish tint of the crystal indicates a high lead content—a sign of genuine, high-quality crystals.

gold-plated brass frame:
the brass frame is finished in a bright, warm gold tone and features beautifully sculpted design elements. The crown is the centerpiece of the design, with elegant curves and precisely placed crystal rings. The solid brass construction demonstrates craftsmanship and is robust, just like all original palwa lights.

crown design:
the signature crown shape is elegant and timeless. It evokes both regal grandeur and minimalist design—perfect for the mid-century modern style. The crystal drops hang in multiple layers, creating a cascading, luxurious effect.
