The glass is formed in a faceted, tapering silhouette, articulated by radiating ridges and stepped geometry.

The pattern draws the eye downward, giving the piece a sense of movement. Three metal mounts secure the shade at the upper edge, connecting to twisted rods that rise to a textured canopy above. The metal carries a natural patina, introducing a subtle contrast to the softness of the frosted glass.

When lit, the glass diffuses the light into a warm, even glow, emphasizing the depth of the molded relief rather than the brightness of the source. A piece well suited to an entry or hallway, where its detail can be appreciated up close.

Condition: Great vintage condition, with minor surface wear to the glass and a light patina to the metal frame. This pendant was professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with a new canopy. Accepts one E12 candelabra base light bulb.

Additional Dimensions: Canopy: 5"Diameter x 2"H; OAH: 25"; Drop: 15" See less
