Luxury Large Capiz Shell Pendant Lamp, Beautiful Handmade Piece From The 1970s
Located in Hannover, DE
This intricately designed pendant lamp was lovingly handcrafted, making each piece truly unique. Each capiz shell was lovingly shaped by hand, and the lamp was then put together by hand using brass solder, reminiscent of Tiffany style. The light it gives off is truly one-of-a-kind, with a soft golden glow that makes any room feel warm and cozy. We've replaced the cable and lamp socket with new components, and we can also, upon request, artificially age these components to give them a lovely, light patina. I absolutely love this lamp! It's easily one of the most beautiful capiz shell pendant lamps...
