Excellent Hollywood Regency style chandelier made in the 1970s. It features a central brass metal structure supporting a system of chains and concentric rings to which the crystal elements are attached. The body is formed by prisms and beads of rhinestone crystal, cut with multiple facets, arranged in a vertical drop and in circular bands. The overall geometry combines a conical upper section with a lower ring of larger diameter, creating a stepped volume. This type of structure is heavily inspired by French Empire style chandeliers.

At the bottom, a set of crystal drops and a central pendant are integrated, both mounted on small metal rings. These elements act as light diffusers and visually complete the design. The great advantage of rhinestone crystal is that it weighs less than regular glass, an important factor for modern homes.

During the Golden Age of cinema, around the 1920s, a decorative style known as Hollywood Regency emerged, dominating the interiors of American stars. Characterized by its glamour, vibrant colors, and contrasting materials, it aimed to create opulent and even theatrical interiors. Its use spread throughout the 20th century, crossing American borders and even reaching Europe.
