About the Item

Original 1950's Italian chandelier consisting of original green enameled aluminum spun double-top cluster body supporting six brass spider-like arms each of which holds a leaf shaped textured glass reflector towards a green enameled aluminum petal edged tulip cup with candelabra lightbulb socket (up to 60 watts each). The textured glass has a diaphanous effect like dragon fly wings. Original canopy. Brass stem can be lengthened or shortened by request. The glass petals are meant to point upward but in photos 9-14 you can see where we turned around every other arm to experiment with the look,
