The chandelier is made of solid brass with richly shaped arms and a central body decorated with plastic elements and elegant volutes, typical of traditional Dutch chandeliers. The structure is multi-storey, with a distinctive central baluster and a suspended decorative body in the lower part. The overall impression is extremely representative and corresponds to the luminaires that were originally intended for bourgeois houses, palaces and important public spaces. The chandelier has undergone a historical development of use - from the original gas version, it was converted to electricity in the past and is currently fitted with candle holders with LED bulbs that imitate a flame.
