Compared to traditional single-light models, this piece stands out for its generous dimensions (50 cm) and the presence of four light sources, which provide intense, diffused illumination.

Design and Style: The piece is crafted from hand-shaped wrought iron, structured on multiple levels to create a deep, three-dimensional effect. Its shape is reminiscent of an exploding star or a large exotic flower, composed of lanceolate leaves with raised veins. The antique gold/gilt finish, applied using a technique that mimics gold leaf, gives the piece the warm, precious reflections typical of the Hollywood Regency style.

Lighting: The lamp features four lamp holders: one central and three arranged radially among the leaves. This configuration allows it to effectively illuminate even medium-sized rooms, while also creating evocative shadows on the ceiling.
