Elevate your interior architecture with this magnificent, highly brilliant statement pair of ceiling lights standing at a compact 9.0-inch total height and expanding to a perfect 12.25-inch maximum diameter. Executed in the regal French Empire and Neoclassical Revival styles with sophisticated Hollywood Regency undertones, the substantial solid cast brass frameworks display a stunning, high-polished silver-toned nickel-plated finish, enriched by a warm historical depth and an authentic untouched vintage luster.
The structural centerpiece of each fixture is a grand architectural openwork crown frieze band detailed with repeating neoclassical foliage crests. Suspended elegantly from this upper rim is a magnificent, densely woven cascading basket of octagonal multi-faceted clear crystal glass prisms. The crystals form a tight, shimmering dome that captures and brilliantly refracts the light, terminating in a heavily chased, central leaf-molded bottom rosette decorated with a prominent sculptural pinecone drop finial. Due to their low-profile flush mount geometry, rare 3-light configuration per fixture, and top-tier electrical safety, this curated luxury pair serves as an unparalleled architectural solution for upscale master closets, luxury bedrooms, low-ceilinged formal entryways, or sophisticated hallways.

MATERIALS, DESIGN AND CONDITION:
• The Structure & Artisan Metalwork: A masterful combination of mid-century European manufacturing techniques, featuring heavy solid cast brass central rosettes paired with an ornately stamped and pierced brass crown rim. The reverse side of the crown and ceiling canopy cleanly mirror their high-relief exterior patterns, ensuring a perfectly lightweight yet robust and safe architectural flush mount construction. The entire framework is finished in high-quality, polished silver-toned nickel plating.
• Crystal Prisms: Outfitted with a complete, immaculate set of original multi-faceted clear crystal glass beads. The crystals are chemically pristine, professionally cleaned, and free of any chips, cracks, or damage, creating an outstanding kaleidoscopic light refraction.
• Artisan Restoration, Safety & Grounding: Professionally and completely restored by a specialist technician in our workshop. Meticulously disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, and fully rewired with brand-new internal wiring. Outfitted with an ultra-safe, fully grounded 3-wire electrical system (including dedicated earth/ground wire connection) to meet the highest international safety standards. 100% functional, structurally secure, and operational straight out of the box!
• US Electrical Compatibility: Fully compatible with the United States 110V-120V electrical grids (as well as 220V-240V international grids). Each fixture is upgraded with three (3) brand-new, ultra-safe European E14 sockets (6 sockets in total for the pair) hidden inside the crystal basket, completely eliminating vintage electrical risks. For a seamless installation in the United States, you have two easy options: either use standard E14-to-E12 brass candelabra adapters combined with standard American E12 bulbs (readily available in any local US hardware store), or simply purchase standard E14 LED light bulbs configured for 110V-120V voltage, which are widely and easily available on Amazon US. Recommended maximum wattage is 40W per socket for traditional incandescent bulbs. However, if you choose to use modern energy-saving LED bulbs, there is absolutely no wattage limit—you can use any high-brightness LED equivalent to achieve your desired level of brilliant illumination, as LED bulbs generate virtually no heat. Light bulbs are not included. Ready for immediate hardwired installation!
