The blue-green tole (painted finish) accented by parcel gilt metal has aged beautifully over the years, developing a crackled and oxidized patina. Decorative leaves in gold gilt featured on each arm of the chandelier make a stylized reference to the Neoclassical tradition.

Professionally cleaned and rewired to US electrical standards using UL listed parts. Make sure to view the detailed images to get a closer look at this inspiring light fixture. See less
