Two candle arms terminate in deep blue glass bobeches, while graduated strands of crystal descend through the architectural brass framework, catching and refracting the light beautifully.

The narrow profile makes this especially effective on a mantel, console, or sideboard, where it provides height and sparkle without requiring much depth. Equally appealing in an English Country drawing room or a more formal French-inspired interior, it has the wonderful quality of appearing refined while still feeling collected and slightly eccentric.
