a classic yet modern design. The convex curves of the upper metal shade are set off with a perforation. When switched on, the fine perforated lines appear and structure the shade. The lower shade is hooked into the upper shade and has a large opening in the middle containing a diffuser made of thick, clear textured glass. The canopy is elaborately designed in the same style as the luminaire. The cable is laid in strain-relieved loops. The decorative sheathing of the supporting steel cable with white beads is striking. The materials and workmanship are of a very high quality. The metal elements are made of brass and nickel-plated.
the lamp is in very good condition with signs of wear and patina.
