French 1950's Atomic Wood & Brass Chandelier

About the Item

A most unusual hanging fixture made of maple wood (or pine?), 6 brass and with onion bulb pressed glass globes. The design is clearly inspired by the shape of molecular models and atomic iconography. The curved arms are suggestive of kinetic motion of neutrons and electrons.
