Description from the seller

Spectacular seven-arm chandelier designed by Bořek Šípek for Driade (model "Louis XVI"), an excellent example of neo-baroque and sculptural design that goes beyond mere function to become a true work of art.
Characterized by sinuous, organic lines that unfold in space with dramatic elegance, it is a piece of enormous scenic impact, capable of decorating a room and catching the eye even when off. Perfect as a centerpiece or as a statement piece for sophisticated environments.
Extreme rarity: the object retains all its original glass rods with inner wick, extremely fragile and extremely difficult to source complete today.
Details and Dimensions
Designer: Bořek Šípek
Manufacturer: Driade
Height of the metal body: 41 cm
Total height (with glass rods): about 60 – 70 cm
Width / footprint of arms: 35 – 45 cm
Conditions: Very good, original patina of the metal and intact glass components.
A unique opportunity for collectors of author-design and historic pieces from Driade.
