The central structure is dominated by a large oval teardrop element with a spiral decoration and silvered veining that spectacularly captures the light. Four lateral arms, two on each side, extend from a blown glass crown, curving gracefully downwards thanks to twisted clear glass chains. Each arm ends in a chalice-shaped lamp holder with a wavy edge and an iridescent silvered surface, creating a luminous, precious effect. A small spiraling spherical pendant completes the composition at the bottom, perfectly balancing the silhouette. The upper stem, in twisted glass, connects the whole to a mounting cap in sandblasted or iridescent glass. The whole expresses the refinement typical of Barovier creations, with a play of transparencies, silvery reflections and sinuous shapes that make this chandelier a true piece of high-quality artistic glasswork.
