The bottom tier consists of alternating tubular arms which come in 4 different sizes: 2.75, 7.5, 11, and 13 inches. Fully restored to its original beauty and rewired to U.S. standards. This grand chandelier, especially when lit looks majestic and spectacular - a unique masterpiece in lighting design with striking combination of gold, silver and black and the magical glow of its multiple lights. This chandelier is extremely rare and one of Stilnovo's most important early lighting fixtures documented on a page of Stilnovo's catalogue (picture 10) which states below its image: "Lighting undoubtedly is one of the most important factors in modern architecture and interior decoration. It can be planned according to a purely functional approach or based on decorative elements. The correct answer lies in the choice of fittings which are both beautifully designed and impeccably made." Literature: Stilnovo catalogue, unpaginated Thomas Braüniger, Stilnovo: Apparecchi per l'illuminazione, Berlin, 2016, p. 123.
