Product description

Based on the pictures and information that you have provided, number 384/5 and number 385/5 are ceiling mounted pendant fixtures that are normally suspended from a ceiling by a chain. Both items are similar in construction in that they consist of several glass ornate decorative forms with long curved arms supporting the glass candle cups/bobeches and lamp-holders. Item number 385/5 features numerous decorative, highly refractive glass crystals (i.e. scrolls, chains, pendalogues and prisms) with light-scattering properties. These are highly stylized chandeliers, which are predominantly made of glass crystal components with metal pieces to hold them together. The essential character of the two chandeliers is imparted by the glass crystal components.
