Dimensions: 20” H x 25 ½” W x 25 ½” D
A vintage Italian Murano glass flush-mount light fixture, mid-century/Hollywood Regency in style, adapted more recently by adding a column and chain to fit a wider range of ceiling heights.

A frosty “graniglia” texture on the interior of each leaf diffuses the light from five candelabra base light bulbs to appreciate the rippling, organic qualities of the form. Note the glass shaft covering the brass stem is a custom addition to elongate the previous flush mount into a chandelier for greater versatility across rooms and decorating tastes.
