An exceptional piece that combines decorative refinement with period authenticity.

the trapezoidal structure, flared at the bottom with elegant curved uprights forming an upper arch, is made of ferrous metal with a copper/gold finish, now richly patinated and oxidized—authentic wear that testifies to its age and lends it incomparable charm.

its exterior panels of antique glass are acid-etched with superb baroque motifs: scrolls, acanthus leaves, and exquisitely crafted central cartouches. Inside, a burgundy lacquered metal panel adorned with delicate white stenciled arabesque patterns adds a touch of mystery and a particularly captivating warm glow.

the pendant light is suspended by a metal chain and a forged ring, complemented by a beautiful hammered brass rosette. Installation is made easy with a standard e27 socket.

some minor chips and traces of rust, perfectly in keeping with the piece's character, make it a unique decorative object, ideal for a bohemian, mediterranean, or characterful interior.
