The manufacturer received more than 30 international design awards from 1961 onwards. The light sculpture impresses with extraordinary elegance and it is made with the finest materials and perfect craftsmanship precision. The lighting is in near-perfect original condition. It has been carefully cleaned and meticulously technically inspected. The painted metal surfaces and steel hooks show signs of wear (scratches and minimal corrosion), which in no way affect the overall appearance of the chandelier.
