Aveloria Pendant Lamp

The Aveloria Pendant Lamp starts from the garden arbor and the old Italian tole fixtures that turned it into metal flowers. Curved gold-tone metal ribs bend down from a small crown and round out into an open globe, like the hoops of a trellis, and along each rib climb white ceramic blossoms and gold metal leaves. Every five-petal flower has a small brass bead at its center, and the leaves are pressed with fine veins, set in pairs as if they grew off the same stem. There is no shade: the bulb hangs in the middle of the cage under a brass socket cover, and the whole piece drops from a short brass chain on a black cord. Lit, the ceramic petals turn warm cream and the leaves throw small shadows across the ceiling and walls.
