An authentic, vintage Italian crystal *plafonnier* (flush-mount ceiling light)—specifically a "basket" style fixture featuring a wide crystal bowl shape that sits close to the ceiling—complemented by a central, downward-hanging cluster of three tiers of engraved crystal icicles. Empire/Louis XVI style; a design popular since the 19th century. Construction Support rim: A wide, cast brass/bronze (or gilt metal) ring, decorated with a relief acanthus vine and rosette motif, bordered on both sides by beading. Basket: A flattened, dome-shaped bowl formed by densely draped garlands of octagonal crystals (known as "Turkish beads"), creating a regular, net-like pattern. Icicle fringe: A row of long, cut-glass icicles (or "arrows") with pointed tips, suspended beneath the rim. Lower cascade: A smaller, three-tiered "basket" hanging centrally beneath the main bowl, terminating in a fringe of icicles. This gives the fixture a distinctive, two-tiered silhouette. Light sources: 10 bulbs (standard large base) concealed within the basket, allowing the light to diffuse beautifully through the crystals. The fixture is clean and fully complete with its original, high-lead-content Italian crystals. It features new, fully functional, and safe wiring.
