It features a spherical havanna glass shade in a warm peach/amber tone. The satin-finished glass is decorated with evenly spaced, raised vertical ribs that converge towards the bottom, creating a distinctive fluted pattern.

the shade is held by a naturally aged brass gallery featuring a crown-like arrangement of curved, leaf-shaped metal elements. A short, tapered brass fitting connects the gallery to a circular ceiling canopy.

the combination of softly colored glass, pronounced geometric detailing, and ornamental brasswork is characteristic of swedish art deco lighting design.
