Behind this seemingly buoyant veil of glittering crystals, the tall column of finely carved giltwood in Neoclassical motifs branches into a profusion of metal hooks at the top which cascade down as clear strings of beads punctuated by intense blue and orange crystals. Mixed into the dense curtain of crystal chains are a number of small oculus using répoussé brass frames to hold a jewel in alternating blue or orange jewels. Eight arms for the lights rise from a sparkling web of crystal strings distinguished by an emerald green jewel. Swags of clear and elongated points hang from the patinated metal arms of the lights which use candelabra-base bulbs to create a warm and inviting ambience, terminating at the bottom in a cut crystal sphere. The fixture has been professionally cleaned and rewired using UL-listed components, ready to install in your interior.
