The chandelier features a magnificent large central bowl in frosted glass, decorated with deeply moulded and stylized floral and foliate motifs characteristic of the Art Deco period. The intricate glasswork creates a wonderful interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the decoration.

Surrounding the central bowl are three beautifully matching glass shades, each featuring delicate vertical ribbing and elegant cascading Art Deco patterns. Their harmonious design complements the central bowl, creating a refined and perfectly balanced composition.

The chandelier is supported by an exceptionally elegant bronze frame with an antique silvered finish, displaying a beautiful aged patina. The three gracefully curved bronze arms extend outward from the central bowl, terminating in finely detailed floral mounts that support the glass shades. Three slender suspension rods rise toward the richly ornamented ceiling canopy, further enhancing the chandelier's sophisticated architectural appearance.

The combination of beautifully executed frosted glass and richly patinated silvered bronze gives this chandelier a particularly refined character. When illuminated, the four glass elements provide a soft, atmospheric light that highlights the intricate relief decoration. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
