This stunning ceiling lamp is a true masterpiece, crafted with the utmost care and precision. The stunning glass elements are sure to captivate any viewer. Each crystal is lovingly strung by hand with precious brass wire in a time-honored tradition, coming together to form a beautiful basket of crystals. To top it all off, the lamp is finished with a beautifully cut glass bowl topped with a sphere. I'm happy to tell you that the lamp itself meets current technological standards. It even has the european ce marking, which is a really important safety certification. And don't worry about the cable color — european lamps can also be used with the american electrical grid. In europe, they primarily use high-quality copper cables, which are known for their durability. You'll need two e26/e27 bulbs to get this beauty going. Classic incandescent bulbs or modern energy-saving bulbs will both work great! you're going to love the beautiful venetian craftsmanship of this lamp. It's perfect for your hallways or entryways.
