It features a rectangular polished brass backplate with six cylindrical rods descending downwards from its center, as well as an abundance of bronze chains that each attach to undulating hour glass form translucent Murano glass shades with a subtle striated texture. The shades are presented in two rows of staggered heights imbuing the piece with dynamism and verve.
