label: Description
content: Vertical rectangle. Design for a chandelier. Below are four metal rings of increasing diameter, each with glass drops. The fourth ring from the bottom is the largest one; to it are fastened eight pairs of arms--five are shown--supporting the socket for the burning candles. Above it is a smaller ring, which forms the rim of a diamond glass bowl. To it are fastened sixteen arms--eight are shown, which support sockets, in which alternately glass and burning candles stick. The glass candles are connected by a glass chain. One more light is shown in the center, its exact position unclear. Above are more drops suspended. At the upper edge are traces of a caption. Below is the scale.
