The design presents stylized red apples with green leaves set against an opalescent cream ground, bordered by a scalloped lower edge. The shade is constructed using the traditional lead came technique, with individually cut glass segments assembled into a structured geometric framework radiating from the crown. The interior reveals a single light fitting beneath a central socket mount. The fixture is suspended by a metal chain terminating in a brass-toned ceiling canopy. The composition reflects the enduring influence of early 20th-century American Art Nouveau lighting, particularly the naturalistic vocabulary associated with the Tiffany Studios tradition. The apple motif, rendered in warm tonal gradations of red glass, contrasts with the soft translucency of the background panels, producing a warm, ambient glow when illuminated.
