The uprights house crystal leaves arranged in four tiers, separated by glass discs. This elegant mid-twentieth-century floor lamp, made in Italy in the 1950s, is in good condition. It has been re-electricized and operates with three E27 bulbs, two on the sides and one on top inside the diffuser, for a total maximum output of 500 watts. The light sources can be switched between the two side lights and the top light.

The alternation of the worked crystal plant elements and the polished brass with radial ribs gives it a retro feel, making it ideal as a floor lamp in both contemporary and antique settings. By turning on only the top light, the light effect is very soft.

The crystal elements in the two lower tiers are not original; they were replaced as they were missing. The lampshade is handmade, sewn and pleated in ivory silk with a white inner lining, and was created by reusing the original polylobed frame. The lampshade alone is 70 cm in diameter and 42 cm high.
