Crafted from blown Murano glass with a gilded brass frame, it features bell-shaped lampshades with helical filigree, creating a refined optical illusion: from the front, the milky glass threads form delicate spirals, while from the side, the overlapping threads produce the characteristic reticella effect. The central structure, shaped like a striped acorn, supports slender crystal arms, lending harmony and lightness to a 105 cm diameter. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
