the central element of the light is a flat, opal glass cylinder with an impressive diameter of 50 cm. The edge of the glass body is concavely curved inwards. A large opening in the glass is covered by a diffuser grid on the underside. The light hangs from a sophisticated height adjustment system. A key feature is the striking sphere, which acts as a counterweight to the heavy light body. The sphere and light are perfectly balanced, allowing the light to be moved effortlessly along the pulley-guided wire rope. The black coiled cable adjusts to the height. All metal parts of the light are finished in brass. The heavy canopy houses the pulley system and the power cord. The height of the light is adjustable between 92 and 123 cm.

the light is in very good condition with signs of use and patina. There is a crack in the glass, but it does not affect its functionality. It has been rewired by a professional artisan. This piece has an attribution mark,
