The chandelier has a gilt metal frame with a nice warm patina. The design is highly decorative, with scrolling metalwork rising toward the chain at the top. The arms curve outward in graceful loops, creating a balanced, symmetrical shape.

It holds twelve candle-style lights with cream-colored cylindrical sleeves that resemble traditional wax candles. Each light sits in a shallow, clear glass dish, which adds extra sparkle and refinement.

Crystal adornments are abundant throughout the fixture. Large faceted teardrop pendants hang from the arms and centre, along with large scalloped crystal pendants. Strings of small crystal beads drape in swags between the arms, enhancing the chandelier’s luxurious and romantic feel.

Small flower-shaped accents appear at connection points, reinforcing the floral, garden-inspired aesthetic. Overall, the chandelier combines ornate iron scrollwork with shimmering crystal details, creating a dramatic, centerpiece that feels both opulent and delicate.
