The chandelier is constructed from hand-formed brass in a warm golden finish, arranged as a suspended bouquet of elongated, serrated leaves and three open blossoms. At the upper section, tubular stems converge beneath a coiled brass wire collar before rising through a slender vertical rod to a flared circular ceiling canopy.

The composition incorporates four light sources: three positioned at the center of the lower repoussé flower heads, which are formed by layered petals with embossed veining and scalloped edges, and a fourth tucked within the central cluster of descending foliage. When illuminated, the curved brass surfaces reflect warm light across the textured leaves while projecting radial shadows onto the ceiling plane. Its proportions suit a dining room, an entry hall, or a living area seeking a sculptural French lighting piece from the 1970s. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
