This magnificent French chandelier is a wonder of French Art Deco design. Crafted of molded frosted glass supported by a chromed frame, the six-light fixture takes a stylized cue from nature, with the shades resembling the shell of the sea urchin. Successfully combining exotic inspirations with a futuristic sensibility, this striking chandelier is a masterpiece of Art Deco creativity. The sleek style of this excellent fixture is a testament to the machine-age ideals of streamlining and glamour that are synonymous with the 1920s and 30s.
