Extending fourteen feet in length, the composition is vertical and measured. Slender brass rods descend in parallel lines, suspending a sequence of opaline glass globes that appear to float in rhythm. Fifteen lights are distributed along the structure, each globe a soft point of illumination, creating a cadence that shifts as it moves through space.

The materials are restrained—warm brass, satin opaline glass—but the effect is luminous and layered. When lit, the globes emit a diffused glow, while the brass framework traces a fine linear structure around them. The balance between solidity and lightness gives the piece its sense of tension, as though assembled rather than hung.

The reference to jewelry is subtle but present in the repetition, the spacing, the way each element relates to the next. Like a strand extended beyond the body, it transforms ornament into architecture.

At a monumental scale, it defines the volume it occupies. In a double-height space or above a stair, it draws the eye vertically, marking movement and anchoring the room. A piece that does more than illuminate—shaping atmosphere through proportion, rhythm, and light.

Condition: Excellent condition with a light patina to the brass elements. Accepts 15 light bulbs.
