About This Piece

Vintage Design

Stunning italian chandelier with brass structure and a round saucer shaped crystal glass lampshade. The peculiarity of this lamp is its downfacing turtle-shaped crystal glass dome. The dome is faceted, which is a very important element showing a high manufacturing quality and distinguishing this model from others.

The chandelier is in great condition, minimal signs of pre-use. Beautiful patina on the brass elements.
