The fixture is composed of a substantial circular alabaster diffuser suspended within a patinated brass framework, with a series of cylindrical arms terminating in matching alabaster discs that create a balanced, architectural composition.

The richly veined alabaster displays beautiful natural variation throughout, ranging from soft ivory tones to dramatic grey and charcoal inclusions, giving the piece warmth and depth even when unlit. The brass elements have acquired a mellow patina that complements the stone particularly well, reinforcing the chandelier’s understated sophistication.

The design balances geometric clarity with luxurious materials, recalling the elegant restraint of Italian and French lighting from the 1930s through to the 1950s. When illuminated, the alabaster produces a soft diffused glow, highlighting the translucency and natural character of the stone.

A highly decorative and sculptural ceiling light with strong presence, equally suited to contemporary interiors or more classic settings.
