The 8in. x 8 in, ovoid Murano glass shade is composed of color blocked strands of alternating amber‑brown and cream panels. The glass has the characteristic shimmer of aventurine, with gold flecking visible through out.

Above the glass sits an antique metal cherub figure, richly detailed with classical drapery, curled hair, holding a detailed cornucopia. Flowers, leaves, scroll work and acanthus‑style detailing form the base. The metalwork has a warm, aged gold tone that complements the amber glass.

Crowning the piece is a faceted crystal finial, cut in a multi‑facet pattern that catches and refracts light.

The full height from the top of the metalwork to the bottom of the glass is 29 inches (not including chain length). See less
