About this work
The object consists of the actual canopy, composed of two parts and a ring, which encloses the electric lighting, a decorative canopy attached to four strips, a tube, and a ceiling piece. The parts are provided with etched and chased or cut-out vine ornament. On the ring of the lower canopy are mounted green or frosted glass stones. Against the ornamental canopy hang strings of glass beads. A few years ago, a new mount and a plastic inner canopy were added, as well as a cream-colored volant decorated with brown glass beads.
