Originating from France, this chandelier presents a modernist form, characterized by clean lines and geometric shapes, a hallmark of the era.
A nickel-plated metal frame forms the chandelier's structure, its polished surface enhancing brilliance. A central, Lalique-style molded etched opalescent glass shade radiates soft light, surrounded by four unique stepped outer shades.
